Five years of accomplishments Strong leadership vital to Party and China

THE COMMUNIST Party of China's strong leadership has helped China make significant progress over the past five years, says an article published in People's Daily. Excerpts:

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the Party leadership has laid solid foundations for China's further comprehensive development. With scientific strategies and outstanding competence, the Party, led by General Secretary Xi Jinping, remains committed to improving people's livelihoods and further developing the country and the Party itself.

The core role of Xi in the leadership, which was made clear at the Sixth Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee, has helped promote China's long-term stability and prosperity.
