There is one week left until the Chinese Communist Party Congress, which is held once every five years to decide the personnel of the new leadership, and the important meeting of the party will start on the 9th.
While attention is focused on whether President Xi Jinping will enter an unusual third term as the party's top leader, there is growing interest in what kind of decision will be made on the revision of the "Party Constitution", which is the highest rule of the party.
Prior to the Communist Party Congress, which will open on the 16th of this month, an important meeting called the ``7th Plenary Session'' will begin in Beijing from the 9th, with more than 300 party executives attending.
Ahead of the conference, many police officers and others are on high alert in Beijing, with decorations and slogans that read, "Let's welcome the 20th Party Congress."
At the 7th plenary session, in addition to reports on future political and economic basic policies, proposals to revise the Party Constitution, which is the party's supreme rule, will be deliberated.
At this year's party convention, attention is focused on whether 69-year-old President Xi Jinping will break the convention of retiring from the leadership at the age of 68 and enter an unusual third term as the top of the party.
Regarding the revision of the "Party Constitution", there is a view that the name of the guiding thought, "Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era," which was included at the previous Party Congress five years ago, will be changed to "Xi Jinping Thought." It has come out.
Among the guiding ideologies specified in the Party Constitution, the only one that has an individual name in the "thought" is the "Mao Zedong Thought" of Mao Zedong, who is considered the founding father of the nation. The authority of Mr. Mao is expected to be on par with Mao Zedong, and interest is gathering.
