This is only the third such resolution passed by the party in its 100-year history. The previous two resolutions, passed by Mao Zedong in 1945 and Deng Xiaoping in 1981, marked important <strong>inflection points (a time of significant change in a situation)<\/strong> in China\u2019s politics, and established them as the dominant leaders of their respective generations. The full text of the latest resolution has not been made public, but a 5,000-word <strong>communiqu\u00e9 (An official report) <\/strong>issued after the closure of the four-day <strong>plenum (A meeting of a legislative body at which all members are present) <\/strong>gives a flavour. It <strong>heaps (Bestow in large quantities) <\/strong>praise on the contributions of Mao, Deng and current leader Xi Jinping. It differs in one key aspect from the previous resolution of 1981, which acknowledged Mao\u2019s mistakes that led to the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), by describing the history of the party as one without flaws. \u201cLooking back on the party\u2019s endeavours over the past century,\u201d it surmises, \u201cwe can see why we were successful in the past and how we can continue to succeed in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining why the party saw the need for a new historical resolution, the communiqu\u00e9 said the party wanted to \u201cstrengthen our consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central party leadership\u201d. The latest communiqu\u00e9 implicitly criticised the collective leadership model that Deng <strong>bequeathed (Leave or give by will after one&#8217;s death) <\/strong>his successors and enabled three peaceful transfers of power, praising Mr. Xi\u2019s \u201ccore\u201d leadership for having \u201csolved many tough problems&#8230; never resolved and accomplished many things that were wanted but never got done\u201d. It also called for \u201cresolutely upholding Xi Jinping\u2019s core position on the Central Committee and in the Party&#8230; and upholding the Central Committee\u2019s authority&#8230; to ensure that all Party members act in unison\u201d. The significance of the 1945 and 1981 resolutions lay not in their reflections on the past but in how they would change the exercise of power, bringing dramatic consequences for China\u2019s future. The first established Mao\u2019s ideology as the party\u2019s guiding ideology. By doing so, it made it <strong>heresy (an opinion or belief that is the opposite of or against what is the official or popular opinion, or an action that shows that you have no respect for the official opinion) <\/strong>to question Mao and paved the way for the creation of his disastrous personality <strong>cult (Followers of an exclusive system of beliefs and practices)<\/strong>. In 1981, Deng too established his dominance, but used his power to bring an end to rule by ideology, instead turning the party\u2019s attention to development and bringing China to its era of reform and opening up. Now, 40 years after Deng, as China\u2019s current leader looks to write his place in the party\u2019s history, the past might be held in <strong>reverence (A feeling of profound respect for someone or something)<\/strong>, but it will not be allowed to dictate the <strong>contours <\/strong>of the future when the country prepares to take yet another political turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=3083&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Nov+15%2C+2021%3B+Day+179_151121_IBPSPM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSPM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IBPS_PO_210921-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"IBPS_PO_Mock Test\" class=\"wp-image-8488\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,25,5,17,2,49,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-10861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-so","category-niacl-ao","category-rbi-assistant","category-sbi-po","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Nov 15, 2021;
