China's Communist Party strengthens control through government and regulatory overhaul.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has tightened his control over the government by implementing a major overhaul that gives the Communist Party more power over the country's bureaucracy. The restructuring includes the creation of new agencies to oversee the military, foreign aid, and international development. The move is seen as a way for Xi to consolidate his power and ensure that the party has greater control over all aspects of Chinese society.
