And the new Central Committee of the Communist Party was appointed after extensive amendments were made to Xi Jinping for a third term of five years during a voting process that took place in a closed session, which paves the way for him to be officially installed at the head of state for a new term in March 2023. The Xinhua news agency also reported that Xi "was also appointed chairman of the Central Military Commission." Xi appointed allies among the seven members of the Standing Committee that hold de facto power in China, including Li Qiang, the party chief in Shanghai, Ding Shuixiang, chief of Xi Jinping's office, and Li Xi, head of the Guangdong Provincial Party (south), according to state television footage from People's Palace in Beijing. "China cannot develop without the world, and the world also needs China," Xi declared in a speech to the press at the People's Palace. He added, "After more than forty years of unremitting efforts for reform and openness, we have achieved two miracles: rapid economic development and long-term social stability." "I would like to sincerely thank the whole party for the confidence they have shown me," Xi told reporters in Beijing, pledging to "work hard to fulfill our tasks."
