BEIJING - The 20th Congress of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) opened on Sunday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
"In the face of serious provocations by separatist forces calling for Taiwan’s independence and interference from outside forces, we have resolutely waged a major struggle against separatism and interference, demonstrating our strong determination and wide ability to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity and oppose Taiwan independence," Xinhua quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping as saying at the opening of the Congress.
A total of 2,296 delegates have arrived in Beijing from across China to participate in the key week-long event that will wrap up on Oct 22.
The delegates will determine the future course of the country's development, approve the national policy for the next five years and will appoint the CCP’s top leadership.
Xi Jinping is expected to be nominated for a third five-year term as CCP’s General Secretary and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC). - BERNAMA
