Usually the Chinese lasts daily News, Xinwen Lianbo, 30 minutes. On this historic Saturday, however, it is 75 minutes. 67 of them are dedicated to the party congress, which has just ended – and at which party leader Xi Jinping once again significantly consolidated and increased his power. The show is choreographed to match the choreographed party conference. It shows the media worlds in which large parts of the Chinese population move.
