Xi Jinping presents plan to strengthen internal discipline of the Chinese Communist Party

Chinese President Xi Jinping presented a resolution plan to strengthen internal discipline within the Communist Party of China during the fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee. The plan aims to enhance governance and combat corruption, which has been a persistent issue. The meeting will discuss the resolution, which outlines priorities for the coming years and addresses challenges posed by internal and external changes. Xi acknowledged obstacles in implementing decisions and criticized leaders for superficial loyalty. Recent expulsions of generals over corruption await ratification, reflecting ongoing anti-corruption efforts that have affected numerous officials.
