In a 'historical resolution,' the Chinese Communist Party boosts Xi's prestige.
Analysts believe the move is intended to elevate the president to the similar status as Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
The ruling Communist Party (CCP) passed a rare "historical resolution" praising Xi Jinping's "decisive importance" in the revitalization of the Chinese nation, strengthening his grip on power.
This is only the third resolution of its kind in the party's 100-year history. The two previous resolutions were enacted during the reigns of Mao Zedong,
who led the Communists to power in 1949, and Deng Xiaoping, whose reforms transformed China into an economic superpower in the 1980s.
China had "achieved historic achievements and undergone a historic transformation" under Xi's leadership, according to the official summary of the meeting's resolution.
It hailed Xi, Mao, and Deng for guiding the country through "the momentous shift from rising and prospering to becoming strong."
Xi Jinping is the president of China. In China, a summit of political elites has begun as Xi prepares for an exceptional third term.
The resolution, according to analysts, was intended to boost Xi's standing to that of Mao and Deng, as well as to help assure his political future when the party lifted presidential term limits in 2018.
"The party central committee called on the entire party, the entire army, and people of all ethnic groups to unite more closely around the party central committee,
with comrade Xi Jinping at its core, to fully implement Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics," according to a Xinhua report.
"Establishing comrade Xi Jinping's position as the heart of the central committee as well as of the entire party...
was of vital significance in progressing toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese country," according to the meeting's official summary, or statement.
According to the statement, the party central committee also completed "many key duties that had not previously been completed
and promoted historic successes and historic changes in the cause of the party and the country."
According to Ling Li, a CCP researcher at the University of Vienna, the resolution was enacted following a fundamental shift in power dynamics at the CCP's top in recent years,
and was intended to persuade party officials as well as the general public of the progress made under Xi's leadership.
"The resolution serves two purposes: first, it explains the winner's journey to power by passing verdicts on those who lost;
and second, it develops a case regarding the winning party's distinctive performance," she explained.
Xi was not claiming all the credit, according to Yu Jie, a senior scholar on China at the London-based think tank Chatham House.
"Instead, he confessed and acknowledged the foundation laid by his forefathers at various times," Yu added.
When term restrictions were lifted, Chinese authorities and academics predicted that Xi would want additional time to carry out his plans. "Don't change pilots straight after takeoff...
[He] can help China eliminate uncertainty as it approaches a critical time of development. "I don't see any issues with that," one high-profile state broadcaster said.
Xi has no apparent opponents, but critics fear that a bid to maintain power risks alienating younger party members, who may see their chances for promotion dwindle.
Political experts also point to the experience of various Asian, African, and Latin American countries where protracted periods of one-person leadership have resulted in poor decision-making and economic performance.
The statement also ordered party members to "be absolutely confident that we make no disruptive blunders on important issues,
" in addition to ensuring Xi's strongman position and demonstrating the party's supremacy.
Party legitimacy, economic reform and opening up, and territorial integrity were among the major challenges, according to Yu.
"It suggests that China will only chart a route that the party directs," she explained.
The agreement comes at a time when Beijing's relations with several Western capitals are deteriorating on problems like as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang.
The world was undergoing "vast shifts unseen in a century," according to the statement, which was linked with the Covid epidemic.
Internally, it acknowledged that controlling Covid and expanding China's economy and society was a "very difficult undertaking."
