Mr Xi — who has amassed more personal authority than any leader since at least Deng Xiaoping in the s — has widely been expected to pursue a third, five-year term as party general secretary. That would break with a two-decade-old party tradition that would require the year-old leader to step down next year.
The party leadership's resolution on its history is only the third since its founding years ago, following one under Mao Zedong, first leader of the communist government, and another under Deng, who launched reforms that turned China into an economic powerhouse. The decision to issue one under Mr Xi was widely seen as symbolically raising him to their status. In , the party removed term limits on Mr Xi's post as president , indicating his intention to stay in power. Then, officials told reporters Mr Xi might need more time to make sure economic and other reforms were carried out.

Thursday's party statement emphasised its successes in overseeing China's emergence as the world's second-biggest economy , glossing over deadly political violence in its early decades in power and growing complaints about human rights abuses. Mr Xi has used his control of the party's vast propaganda apparatus to promote his image.
State media associate him with national successes, including fighting the novel coronavirus, China's rise as a technology creator and last year's successful lunar mission to bring back moon rocks.
The assessment under Mr Deng distanced the party from the violent upheaval of the ultra-radical Cultural Revolution. By contrast, Mr Xi has promoted a positive image of the party's early decades in power and called for it to revive its "original mission" as China's leading economic, political and cultural force.

One government critic described the proposal in an open letter last month as a "farce" , in a rare show of public dissent.

We have to voice our opposition," he told BBC Chinese. State media, however, have portrayed the changes as much-needed reform. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day.
