The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Thursday adopted a 100-year-rave text on Thursday, November 11, which further elevated President Xi Jinping’s stature among regime icons. In the greatest secrecy, some 350 members of the Central Committee, the “parliament” of the CCP, approved as one man a resolution on “the great successes” of the movement founded in 1921, according to images broadcast on the evening television news. CCP, which has ruled the country with an iron fist for 72 years, says it wrote “the most magnificent epic in the history of the Chinese nation over millennia”.

Since Xi Jinping came to power at the end of 2012, “Chinese socialism has entered a new era”, according to another excerpt from the resolution broadcast by the official New China news agency. The “thought” of the strongman of Beijing “is the epitome of Chinese culture and soul”, continues the text. Xi Jinping’s presence at the “heart” of the ruling party “is of decisive importance (…) to promote the historic process of the great renewal of the Chinese nation”.
