During the 6th Plenum of the 19th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee, held in November 2021, China’s top political leadership passed a “historical resolution” that cements President Xi Jinping’s (习近平) status as a transformative leader and secures his political legacy (People’s Daily, November 11). In reviewing key experiences from the past, the meeting celebrated the achievements of Xi’s rule, praising not only the “efforts to address corruption in both political and economic circles” but also the victory in establishing a “moderately prosperous society” (小康社会, xiaokang shehui) (People’s Daily, November 11). This has paved the way for Xi to move forward with his pursuit of “common prosperity,” a principle that has rapidly become the new leitmotif of his ambitious agenda.
