Beijing: China's ruling Communist Party on Thursday declared that President Xi Jinping is the party's "core", a title he had not previously had, putting him in a more powerful position ahead of a key congress next autumn.
A statement released by the party following a four-day meeting of top party leaders in Beijing, and carried by state media, referred to Xi as "core of the party centre".
Xi is also head of the party and the military, as well as being head of state.
