Chines President Xi Jinping spoke to an 'an unusual meeting of China's top leaders' on Monday in Beijing.
Bloomberg have the piece here, citing Xinhua (state media in China)
- Communist Party needed greater efforts "to prevent and resolve major risks"
- "The party is facing long-term and complex tests in terms of maintaining long-term rule, reform and opening-up, a market-driven economy, and within the external environment," Xi said, according to Xinhua. "The party is facing sharp and serious dangers of a slackness in spirit, lack of ability, distance from the people, and being passive and corrupt. This is an overall judgment based on the actual situation."
On Monday we also got China GDP data, 2018 came in at 'only' 6.6% growth :-D
