Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, joined a discussion with deputies to China's 12th National People's Congress from Anhui province during the second session in Beijing on March 9 last year, and pointed out that Party officials should hold unwavering belief, seek integrity, keep away from vulgar interest and resist harmful trends and crooked practices.

2. Summit to reshape Asian security with new concept

Xi proposed on May 21 last year a new concept of Asian security which analysts said bears significant implications for regional stability and the rebalancing of global security.

Addressing the fourth summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia in Shanghai, the president envisioned a mechanism that stresses common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security to tackle rising challenges facing the region with 67 percent of the world's population and one third of the global economy.

"We need to innovate our security, establish new regional security cooperation and jointly build a shared and win-win road for Asian security," he said.
