We start with China's latest constitutional amendments. The Communist Party of China has convened a key meeting in Beijing to review proposals for amending parts of the country's Constitution.
A communique issued after the meeting recognized the inclusion of major guidelines and theories to the Constitution settled after the 19th CPC National Congress, especially the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
The document also stressed that reform in China's national supervision body is a significant move in strengthening the Party and the country's self-discipline.
The proposal will be further explained in March at the annual session of China's top legislature, the National People's Congress. And a vote will take place to legalize the amendments.
