In Beijing, China, the Communist Party's "6 Chuzenkai" meeting, which is attended by more than 300 executives including Xi Jinping's leadership and decides important policies and personnel affairs in the future, will be held for four days from the 8th to the 11th of this month. It will be held at.

On the 7th, police officers and vehicles were stationed around the military-controlled facility, which is believed to be the venue, to be on alert.

At the meeting, a "history resolution" that summarizes the achievements and history of the party will be deliberated in light of the 100th anniversary of the party's founding.

It has been pointed out that the "History Resolution" was adopted twice in China in 1945 and 1981, and that the power base of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping became solid after the adoption.

President Xi Jinping is said to be aiming for an unusual third term as the party leader at the party convention next fall, and by leading the "History Resolution," Xi's authority over the long-term administration is expected to increase further. Can be done.

"6th Central Plenary Session"

The "6 Chuzenkai" is the 6th general meeting held by the "Central Committee", which takes over the authority of the party convention held once every 5 years by the Chinese Communist Party.

Officially, it is the "6th Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China", but it is abbreviated as "6th Plenary Meeting".

Until the next party convention is held, the "central committee" will hold a plenary meeting at least once a year on behalf of the party convention to decide important policies and personnel of the party.

The Chinese Constitution stipulates that the National People's Congress is the highest state power institution, but at the same time, the leadership role of the Communist Party is clearly stated, so these Communist Party meetings effectively set the national policy. I have decided.

At the meeting, there will be about 200 "central committee members" including the highest leadership such as President Xi Jinping, who is also the party's top general secretary, executives of the government, the military, and state-owned enterprises, followed by about 160 "candidate members". Will attend.

It is customary for the meeting to be held privately at a military-controlled facility in central Beijing, with an overview being announced after the meeting, but no specific minutes.

Usually, important decisions have been made at the "6 Chuzenkai" held in the year before the party convention, and last time, at the 2016 "6 Chuzenkai", President Xi was Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. For the first time, it was officially positioned as the "core of the party center" along with, and it became an opportunity for further concentration of power on President Xiaoping.

Past "History Resolutions" and this time

In the history of the Chinese Communist Party, the "History Resolution" was adopted only twice during the times of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, and since the power base of both men became solid, the "History Resolution" was a time. It is considered to be one of the means to increase the authority of leaders.

It was first adopted in April 1945, before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Mao Zedong, who was already the top of the Communist Party, dismissed the executives who were in conflict over the route, criticized these executives again at the "7 Chuzenkai" of this year, and included "some history" that praises Mao Zedong. We will be able to adopt the "Resolution on the Issue".

Then, at the Communist Party Congress held after that, "Maoism" was included in the party rules, which is the highest rule of the party, and Mao Zedong's tremendous authority was established.

The second time was in 1981, five years after the end of the Cultural Revolution that confused the whole of China. In this year's "6 Chuzenkai," Mao Zedong's mistakes that triggered the Cultural Revolution were also included. However, the "Resolution on Some Historical Issues of the Party since its Founding" was adopted.

Deng Xiaoping, who led the resolution, became the chairman of the Central Military Commission, the head of the Chinese army, at the same meeting, laying the foundation for power as the most powerful person.

The past two historical resolutions have a strong element of justifying their own route by denying the system and leaders within the party before that by positioning it as a "historical issue."

On the other hand, this historical resolution is said to be "a resolution on the significant achievements and historical experience of the party's 100-year struggle," and is positive, acknowledging the achievements of successive leaders and incorporating the achievements of President Xi Jinping. It seems that the content will be the content, and it is possible that care was taken not to cause a backlash within the party.
