Xi Jinping, Vice President, newly elected General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission, and Li Keqiang, Vice Premier and a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, wave to journalists at a press event debuting the CPC's new top leaders in Beijing on November 15.

"Under the new conditions, our Party faces many severe challenges, and there are also many pressing problems within the Party that need to be resolved—particularly corruption and being divorced from the people," Xi said at the press event. "We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole Party must stay on full alert."

Xi and Li are expected to become China's president and premier respectively early next year.
