Mr Xi’s thought touted as a new roadmap for the CPC to remain in power adopting to modern conditions was included in its constitution in the once-in-a-five-year conference held in October, an honour only given to party founder Mao Zedong and his successor Deng Xiaoping.
Mr Xi, regarded as the most powerful leader, has also been re-elected for the second five-year term as a leader of the party, President and head of the military.
