By Zhang Yunbi

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened on Oct 18, during which Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a report.

The Congress concluded on Oct 24 by enshrining Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the Party Constitution and installing a new Central Committee and a new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The CPC also included Xi's military thinking and the Party's "absolute" leadership over the armed forces in its Constitution, as well as other statements, including "following the principle of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration, and pursuing the Belt and Road Initiative".

The new Central Committee held its first plenary session on Oct 25 in Beijing and elected Xi as its general secretary.

The plenum also elected members of the Political Bureau and members of the Political Bureau Standing Committee.
