Chinese leaders issue official history to elevate Xi November 11, 2021 at 12:49AM

China's leaders have approved a resolution on the history of the ruling Communist Party that was expected to set the stage for President Xi Jinping to extend his rule next year. The move is expected to give Xi status beside the ruling Communist Party's most important figures. The statement is only the third statement of its kind in the party's 100-year history after the ones issued under Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
