Xi replaced Hu Jintao as general secretary of the Party and president of China, and Li Keqiang replaced Wen Jiabao as premier of the State Council. The rest of the fifth generation of the Party leadership includes Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan, Wang Qishan, Zhang Gaoli, Li Yuanchao, Liu Yandong, and Wang Yang.[2]

The Xi Jinping–Li Keqiang Administration ended following the end of Li Keqiang's term on 11 March 2023. He was replaced with Li Qiang.[3]

It was speculated that Xi will solidify the political power of the CCP general secretary, for the absolute command of the Communist ideology over pragmatic approach, and on the economic front, there will be no liberalization but socialist entrenchment.[4]
