The Chinese president, XI Jinping, has cemented his grip over the Communist party by passing an amendment that will enshrine his ideas and status in the party's constitution. The move by Xi elevates his status in the party which is expected to hand him a mandate for a precedent-breaking third term as president. He closed the congress with a call to the people of China to remain confident in their 'history, exhibit greater historical initiative, and have the courage to fight and the mettle to win'.
During the congress, former leader Hu Jintao was also unexpectedly escorted out of Beijing’s Great Hall of the People. Hu, who preceded Xi, sat next to him throughout the ceremony until he was reluctantly pulled away. He appeared to want to squeeze in a last word with Xi before he tapped outgoing premier Li Keqiang and left the hall. His departure has not been explained

Party amends constitution to enshrine Xi at its core and his political thought as its underpinning ideology
China’s president, Xi Jinping, has strengthened his power as leader and elevated his status within Communist party (CCP) history, with major political resolutions announced on the final day of a key political meeting.
On Saturday, the CCP congress approved amendments to its constitution, including the “Two Establishes” and “Two Safeguards”, aimed at enshrining Xi as at the core of the party and his political thought as its underpinning ideology.

Born into the Communist party elite and shaped by the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese president stands on the brink of securing historic power
When Xi Jinping was 13 years old, at the height of China’s Cultural Revolution, he was denounced as a counter-revolutionary before a frenzied crowd in Beijing. Among his accusers was his own mother, forced to join in the taunting.
China’s future leader was targeted mostly because his father, a top Communist cadre, was purged by Chairman Mao Zedong. His fall dragged the family down too; Xi’s half-sister died, reportedly after intense abuse.
