China's Communist Party on Saturday endorsed Xi Jinping's "core position" among its leadership, as the country's president concluded a five-yearly congress that is now almost certain to bring him a norm-busting third term in power.
All party members will be obliged to "uphold Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole", according to a unanimously passed resolution on changes to the party charter.
