opened his communist parties twice a decade. congress in an address to more than 2000 delegates, the leader of one parties. china praised his party for their achievements and laid out his vision for the future of the world's most populous nation. we shall now from this day forward, the central task of the communist party congress will be to lead the chinese people if all ethnic groups it effort to realize that goals of drilling china into great modern socialist country in all respects. and so on to read you the nation of the chinese nation on all fronts laid off chinese communist party members are expected to hand leader. she a rare 3rd term and strengthen his iron grip on the biggest global economy after the united states. here's a look at his rise to power. she didnt ping's political journey has been

epic from political exile during the upheavals of the cultural revolution to becoming the most powerful chinese leader since mousie dong in the 19 seventy's. china has been transformed since the mouth era, from a poor, inward looking country into a global superpower and the world's 2nd largest economy. analysts believe she goes into the congress in a strong position, and his appointment for a 3rd term is party chief, gives him more political muscle. they say the makeup of congress has also changed in his favor. ah, that there were many factions, many struggles on many disagreements thoughts, and this is likely going to be the 1st one without fractional struggles since the establishment of the communist party of china. which means that she, jim ping, has taken control of everything. oh, she to me, in some corner each here she has taken a hard line approach to china's relations with the west, particularly over self ruled taiwan. she wants tie one to revert to beijing's role

by 2049. the st. henry of the foundation of the people's republic, he's not ruled out taking the island by force. his reluctance to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine has antagonized the west and his efforts to grab territory in the south. china sea have angered china's neighbors. relations with the united states or at their lowest ebb for years, while tensions between the a, you and china could escalate if she strengthens his commitment to a confrontational foreign policy. while the rest of the world is easing cove, at 19 restrictions, china's authorities have intensified their efforts to contain outbreaks with strict locked downs mass testing and lengthy quarantines. this 0 covert approach is one of she's landmark policies. it's also turning into the most potent test of his leadership so far as one person was arrested in beijing hanging a protest banner in the city. such, protest actions

a highly unusual economic growth under she is suffering and fears of a global recession, triggered by the war in ukraine, have hit confidence. any hint of china's future direction will be followed closely around the world. border fabi and klatera is in beijing and following the story for us, i asked him whether he thought she's moved towards a 3rd term in office. makes his power absolute well, i mean from what we know, his grip on power is really very firm. and, but nobody can say really for sure the system is increasingly opaque and, and especially the core of the partnership is a black box. but and from all the interview said i am a conducting also my observations. yesses grip on power is very fun. there's also no clear a successor that is presented by state media in the future. so a think and he presents himself as a bit that there's no alternative. however,

with the economy really performing very weak this year and also the 0 corporate strategy becoming a repressive. i think that the frustration both among the elite and are within the population is increasing. we could see that few days ago when there was a very rare display of protests when a man was hanging a protest, bene, and unabated bridge. there was maybe the most open display of protests in 2 decades . it has some interesting developments and pressures being put on him. are you hurt his address to the party congress? what, what did you make make of it? it was a very, very ideological each, as expected. it was a confidence each and compared to 5 years before it was much refurb. and my main takeaways of it 1st, he clearly doubled down on his 0 cobit approach. meaning that this strategy will not change any time soon, and therefore also the deep isolation, international isolation of china will not change. then he also gave a kia,

wanting to taiwan. he basically said that he will not rule out military force when taking over taiwan, which is also a clear statement. and in general, he spoke of unprecedented storm. that's coming ahead and it basically reminding the population that this struggle ahead and by interpretation is that he sees a confrontation with the west looming in the future. now let's get more into that. where do you see she wanting to take china's relations with united states and the west? well, right now, china, for example, very concerned of not losing europe. they want to engage more diplomatically with europe. and of course also am i looking for hm on yes, relationships with the west, but the bigger picture, i mean, the long term picture is it and that's a belief within the party leadership that at the west and especially in the u. s. is trying to restrict china's economic rise and the best need for a prepare for a confrontation. and so i would say that's not really

a good or optimistic scenario. i think the bigger picture looks rather grim that and the relationship to the west will get worse in the future. correspond via customer there with a view from beijing. thanks very much. turning out to some other stories making news right now. russia's ministry of defense says gunman have killed 11 people at a training site for the russian military. the attack happened in belgrade region of russia which borders ukraine. the shooters opened fire during a training session for volunteers preparing to be deployed to ukraine. a lot must the world's richest man announce his company. we'll continue to pay for starling satellite internet in ukraine. this comes just a day after he said this company space x could not continue funding. the project star link has been vital to ukraine's communications as it fights rushes invasion.
