Changes to Constitution in line with people’s will, leaders agree

Li Zhanshu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said in a panel discussion with the deputies from the Beijing municipality that he fully endorses the draft amendment.

He mentioned the draft amendment’s role in affirming the great achievements and experience brought by the Party and the people in the form of the Constitution.

Li Zhanshu also noted the inclusion in the draft of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the major innovation outcomes of the 19th CPC National Congress in terms of theory, practice and system.
