At the conclusion of the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing, the crucial focus was on support for party leader Xi Jinping and his strategy of building a "strong modern socialist state."
According to a communiqué issued after the plenum, the participants called on the party, the army and the people of China to "rally more closely around the party's Central Committee," which is considered a strategic necessity for the country's further development.
It is about the need to build a "strong modern socialist state" open to the outside world, but with a strong national security system and army.
Improvement of the armed forces is called an important component of Chinese modernization.
The day before, a Chinese dissident said that Xi suffered a stroke at the meeting. There was no confirmation of this.
