New Delhi, Nov 15 (TIWN) The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was about the history of the Party and the achievements of President Xi Jinping. He set the tone for his long-term governance at this high-level important meeting. The Session paved the way for the 20th National Congress of the CPC to be held next year. It is widely expected that Xi will win a third term at the Congress, consolidating his position as China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. The four-day event comprising about 400 members started on 8th November and concluded on 11th in Beijing.

According to the official news agency Xinhua, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the CPC reviewed the "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Party's Centennial Struggle". This resolution was mainly to establish Xi's historical status and cement his authority. The Session put an end to any doubts about Xi's achievements and any ambiguity about Xi's farewell, but he is here to govern for a long time.   "It was obvious that Xi Jinping now wants to make the achievements of the party before all of them are on his own. This Sixth Plenary Session reminds me of the 'God-making movement' for him," said Li Shimin, a political commentator in an interview given to a Chinese newspaper.  Li pointed out that he saw some comments that Xi wanted to elevate himself to the status of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping in the Sixth Plenary Session. He said that when Mao Zedong was ageing, he deliberately helped the narrative of a cult figure and "created God" like impression among cadres. The Communist Party used his propaganda to promote him as a superhuman being.
