This move solidified his position as China's top leader with unprecedented power.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era

A comprehensive reform package aimed at deepening economic structural adjustments and promoting high-quality development were put forward during the congress.
China's Vision for Regional Security
In addition to domestic issues, discussions centered around regional security highlighted China's commitment to building an Asia-Pacific community with shared destiny through cooperation rather than conflict or competition.
