BEIJING, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) is determined to make itself stronger to lead national rejuvenation which would be just "wishful thinking" without the Party's leadership.


"We must unwaveringly uphold and improve Party leadership and make the Party still stronger," Xi Jinping said Wednesday at the opening session of the 19th CPC National Congress.


The leadership of the CPC is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest strength of the system , he said, calling the Party as "the highest force for political leadership."
