THE NEED FOR A CORE

The CPC, which turned 95 this year, has been the sole ruling party of New China since its founding in 1949.

In the nearly seven decades since, the country has managed to turn itself from a nation scarred by foreign aggression and civil war into the world's second-largest economy and a major player on the world stage.

The CPC's leadership proved pivotal in this epic transformation.

For any country or political party, having a core figure at the center of leadership is of vital importance to both state and party governance.

This is especially true for China, which boasts a population of over 1.3 billion, and for the CPC whose membership exceeds 88 million.

Without an authoritative, influential and experienced Party chief at its very core, the country and Party could fall flat in uniting the people and pooling wisdom to formulate and implement suitable policies.

As China enters the home stretch in building a "moderately prosperous society," identifying a core leader is more relevant than ever.

China has committed to the "two centenary goals," pegged to the 100th anniversaries of the CPC and the People's Republic of China.

By 2020, China's GDP and per-capita income should double from 2010 levels and the building of a moderately prosperous society should be completed. By the middle of this century, China should become a modern socialist country that is "prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious."
