After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, the CPC Central Committee, with Xi Jinping as its newly elected general secretary, set off on a fresh journey of reform and opening-up and modernization. In the course of this new start, Xi Jinping made several speeches on the governance of China. Representing as they do the concepts and principles of governance and of CPC leadership, Xi’s ideas and assessments have answered both theoretical and practical questions about China’s development in the next phase of the country’s history.
