Commentary
The coronation of Xi Jinping during the recently completed 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bodes ill for the world. The Congress rubber-stamped Xi as general secretary of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), as well as the packing of the 20th Politburo and CMC with Xi’s allies.
