Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Xi Jinping has rallied senior provincial and ministerial officials to top-secret meetings in Beijing twice in the past six months, in what is seen as a rare move to consolidate his power enough to support his bid for next term election that will be determined at the party congress at the end of this year.

At the latest special seminar held from July 26 to 27, attendants were forbidden to take notes, although it was reportedly for “learning Chinese Communist Party head Xi Jinping’s important speeches and welcoming the twentieth congress.”
