China's top political advisory body concludes annual session, stressing CPC leadership

A resolution on an amendment to the CPPCC Charter was passed at the meeting in a move widely believed by observers as representing an important chapter in the development of democracy in China.

Xi's thought was incorporated into the amendment as a guiding theory of the CPPCC.

The definition of the CPPCC's nature and tasks was enriched, and the idea of "socialist consultative democracy" was written into the charter.

This was the fourth amendment to the CPPCC charter since it was adopted in 1982.
