领导核心(lǐngdǎo héxīn): The core of the leadership

The Communist Party of China has called on all its members to "closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core," a call to action that many observers believe will give the country the impetus to realize its two "centenary goals".

The call was included in a communique released on Thursday after the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, which was held from Monday to Thursday.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, Xi, as the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has led the Party, the military and the people in breaking new ground and making great achievements in the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The CPC Central Committee with Xi as the core will help ensure the Party's unity, and the long-lasting stability and prosperity of the country.

Strong leadership is the key to the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and China's future.

With the CPC united around the CPC Central Committee with Xi as the core, China will gain further impetus to realize the Chinese Dream.
