Chinese Communist Party to Tell International Community Country Will Continue to “Stand Up” to Foreign Oppression

  • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will pass a resolution at a top political meeting from Nov. 8-11, in what looks to be a defiant message to the international community that the country will continue to “stand up” to foreign oppression in its quest for “national rejuvenation.”
  • State media have reported that the resolution relates to party history, and that the previous two history-related resolutions both heralded significant changes in the party’s direction.
  • However, a summary of its content published by state news agency Xinhua is short on specific historical detail and long on declarations about China’s future under CCP general secretary Xi Jinping, and appears to underline the country’s increasingly assertive approach to foreign policy.
