BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping's political vision, which was incorporated into the Communist Party's constitution on Tuesday, appears to be first and foremost a tool to consolidate power, since it scarcely differs from existing language in the charter.
A coordinated propaganda campaign touting the changes is already in full swing in state media. A front-page piece Monday in the People's Daily, an official party paper, says Xi's ideology will direct citizens to fight for the "great revitalization" of the Chinese nation.
