Xi Jinping becomes china’s most powerful political thinker since Mao Zedong after a new body of political thought caring his name in the communist party’s constitutions and these thoughts are also going to be taught in Chinese universities.
He became president of China in 2012 as an enigmatic strong man image. As the leader of the ruling Chinese communist party and a living legend whose name is going to place in the constitution an honour that has been reserved only to Mao Zedong until 2017. His main thought bears the concern regarding the threats towards the president would be considered as a threat to communist party rule. In the 19th party congress, Xi has pledged to lead the world’s second largest economy into a new era of international power and influence. And a seven-man leadership committee unveiled that Mr Xi intends to govern beyond the next five years.
In a brief address to more than 2,200 delegates, Xi said: “Today we, more than 1.3bn Chinese people, live in jubilation and dignity. Our Chinese civilization shines with lasting splendour and glamour.”
He also added “Our party shows strong, firm and vibrant leadership. Our socialist system demonstrates great strength and vitality. The Chinese people and the Chinese nation embrace brilliant prospects,”
Since the birth of the Chinese communist party, only one leader has been honoured in such a way while still alive. Deng Xiaoping considered as the architect of the Chinese economic opening also included in party charter but that was included after his death in 1997. Many debated are going on worldwide for and against Xi Jinping. Some are seeing the fact as a dictatorship and some are saying this is correct as Chinese economy needs strong and stable leadership. Jude Blanchette, an expert in Chinese politics from New York’s Conference Board research group, said: “This is about amassing power and credibility and legitimacy and authority within the system to drive through more effectively what he sees as the right path for China.
