The General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, officially General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, is the highest-ranking official within the Communist Party of China, a standing member of the Politburo and head of the Secretariat. The officeholder is usually considered the paramount leader of China. According to the Constitution, the General Secretary serves as an ex officio member of the Politburo Standing Committee, China's ''de facto'' top decision-making body.〔(Chapter III Central Organizations of the Party - Article 22 )〕 Since the early 1990s, the holder of the post has been, except for transitional periods, the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, making the holder the Commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army. ==Powers and position== Since the abolition of the post of Chairman of the Communist Party of China in 12th Central Committee in 1982, the General Secretary is the highest-ranking official of the party and heads the Central Secretariat, Political bureau and its Standing Committee. Since its revival in 1982, the post of General Secretary has been ''de jure'' the most important post in the PRC, though it did not become the ''de facto'' most important post until Deng Xiaoping's retirement in 1990. As China is a ''de facto'' single party state, the General Secretary holds ultimate power and authority over state and government. However, the men who have held the post have held far less power than Mao Zedong. Since the mid-1990s, the General Secretary has traditionally also held the post of President of the PRC. While the presidency is nominally a ceremonial post, it is customary for the General Secretary to assume the presidency to confirm his status as ''de jure'' head of state. Since the Party National Security Commission and Leading Group for Deepening Reforms established, the power of the General Secretary has become more concentrated. Since Xi Jinping's ascendance to power, two new bodies, the National Security Commission and Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms, have been established, ostensibly concentrating political power in the "paramount leader" to a greater degree than anyone since Deng. These bodies were tasked with establishing the general policy direction for national security as well as the agenda for economic reform. Both groups are headed by the General Secretary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「General Secretary of the Communist Party of China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
