As China’s economy remains sluggish and political tensions inside the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) appear to be rising, Beijing has unveiled what it calls “Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building,” a new ideological doctrine that signals a shift toward a more centralized, Mao-style political system.
The doctrine was formally introduced on June 15 at a national CCP conference on Party-building in Beijing, where senior officials emphasized loyalty to Chinese leader Xi Jinping and called on Party members to study his writings.
