BEIJING -- Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Sunday delivered a nearly two-hour speech to open the Communist Party's National Congress, the country's top leadership event.
The 69-year-old's sweeping remarks touched on everything from opposition to Taiwan's independence and building up China's military to Beijing's virus policies and the shaky state of the world's No. 2 economy. China's "common prosperity" strategy to reduce inequality also featured prominently.
