The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party wrapped up its four-day meeting, consolidating President Xi Jinping and his current leadership system.
Closing its first plenum in 20 months on Thursday, the committee reaffirmed the country's governance system and the military's absolute obedience.
Although eyes were on Xi's stance regarding rising challenges such as the U.S. - China trade dispute and Hong Kong's protests, there were no reports nor mentioning of who could be Xi's successor.
Regarding the Hong Kong protest movement,... while the committee adheres to the 'one country, two systems' policy, it decided to improve legal systems and execution organizations in special administrative areas such as Hong Kong and Macao for national security reasons.
