Abstract: In 2016 Chinese President Xi elevated himself to the “core” of the top leadership, beefed up intra-party supervision, and tried to resurrect the intra-party norms and traditions of intra-party political life developed in the Mao era. He also attempted to rebuild the ideological orthodoxy in order to restore the integrity and discipline of the Leninist party. The difficulties in applying Marxism to today’s reality led him to mainly resort to tightening ideological control.
