Xi Jinping is expected to cement his authority and legacy in a Communist Party resolution. The so-called ‘historical resolution’ will be only the third, with the previous two put forth during the tenures of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping
Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to push through a historical resolution at a key Communist Party gathering next week, cementing his authority and legacy and strengthening his case for a precedent-breaking third term starting next year.
The so-called “historical resolution”, the text of which has not been released, will be only the third, with the previous two put forth during the tenures of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. Xi has established himself as the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao, doing away with the two-term limit, and is widely expected to be confirmed for a third five-year term next fall when the Central Committee convenes for the 20th Party Congress and elects a new leadership team.
The second, in 1981 under Deng, closed the chapter on the turbulent Cultural Revolution, adjudged Mao’s leadership to have been “70 percent right and 30 percent wrong”, made capitalism ideologically acceptable, and laid the groundwork for “reform and opening up”.
