A Chinese military band plays after the speech of Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the opening session of the 19th Communist Party Congress held at The Great Hall Of The People on October 18, 2017 in Beijing, China. The Communist Party Congress happens only twice in a decade, and provides a glimpse into the world of Chinese politics. For Xi Jinping, the week-long event is a confirmation of his power as Party leader and China's president. Xi's speech to the 2300 delegates in the Great Hall of the People was both optimistic and cautionary, and vowed that Chinese socialism was entering a “new era”. Xi's control of the Party and the country is almost irrefutable, as he consolidated power during his first five year term and is believed to have widespread popularity.
