Xi Jinping demands ‘safer’ China as Communist Party prepares for leadership reshuffle

President Xi Jinping has ordered China's security and legal apparatus to focus on eliminating risks and creating a "safer" country. This move comes ahead of the 21st Communist Party congress, where a major leadership reshuffle is expected. The directive signals a shift back to domestic issues, particularly stability, after Xi's recent state visit to Washington. This could lead to increased security measures and a more restrictive environment in China, potentially affecting the economy and trade.
