China Communist Party approves amendments to constitution

Published

on

Xi Jinping

The Chinese Communist Party on Saturday approved amendments to its constitution, including the so-called “Two Establishes” and “Two Safeguards” aimed at cementing the core status of Xi Jinping.

The amendments were passed by a unanimous vote at the end of the party’s National Congress, which takes place once every five years.

The “Two Establishes” refers to establishing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as an official guide to action for the party, and establishing the people’s congresses system as the country’s fundamental political system.

The “Two Safeguards” refers to ensuring that power is exercised within the framework of the constitution and laws, and ensuring that the party leads all work in China.

The amendments came after months of speculation that Xi would seek to have his name enshrined in the constitution, alongside Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.

That would mean he would enjoy special status among party leaders after he steps down as president in 2023.

However, there was no mention of Xi’s name in Saturday’s vote, with party officials instead referring to his “immortal contributions.”

Xi is currently serving his second five-year term as president, and is also General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission.

He has amassed more power than any leader since Mao Zedong, and has used that power to crackdown on dissent and centralize decision-making within the party.

The Chinese Communist Party’s approval of amendments to its constitution aimed at cementing Xi Jinping’s status shows that he is well on his way to becoming one of the most powerful leaders in China’s history.

With these amendments, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era will now be an official guide to action for the party, and his name will likely go down in history alongside other great Chinese leaders.

In Short:
– Russia tested the Burevestnik cruise missile, claiming it is ready for deployment after a successful 14,000-kilometre flight.
– Concerns about the missile’s safety persist due to previous failed tests and a fatal incident during development.
Russia tested its nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, claiming it is ready for deployment.

President Vladimir Putin announced the successful test, which demonstrated a flight of 14,000 kilometers over 15 hours. The announcement comes amid heightened nuclear rhetoric related to tensions over Ukraine.Banner

Putin described the missile, also known as “Storm Petrel” or “Skyfall,” as “invincible,” claiming its design allows it to evade current and future missile defense systems.

Western analysts have raised doubts regarding its effectiveness and safety, citing a high failure rate in testing, with only two successful tests out of 13 since 2016.

Concerns Raised

The Burevestnik’s development has faced significant setbacks, including a 2019 explosion during testing that resulted in fatalities and radiation release. The incident raised concerns about the safety of nuclear propulsion systems.

The missile’s development aligns with Russia’s strategic interests following the U.S. withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2001. Its introduction coincides with intensified nuclear rhetoric from Russia as the conflict in Ukraine persists into its fourth year.

Russia’s nuclear posturing includes recent drills showcasing intercontinental ballistic missiles, coinciding with geopolitical tensions as Russia employs such threats to influence Western support in Ukraine.
