China’s ruling party head Xi Jinping recently stressed the importance of “internal Party regulations” to maintain the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) absolute control over the country. Analysts believe that this indicates that the internal struggle in the CCP has intensified after the 19th plenary session of the 6th Central Committee.

Use “internal Party regulations” to safeguard the centralized and unified leadership of the CCP’s central committee in order to guarantee the Party’s long-term rulership, Ding Xuexiang, a member of the political bureau of the central committee conveyed Xi’s words when presiding over a national party conference on Party regulations on Dec. 20.
