Two new organisations boost Xi's power

The four day long Third Plenum ended with two new organisations: a Security Council and a new team to push through policies bypassing the government. The Security Council will consider domestic security and foreign security policy. The policy team will report directly to the leadership instead of the government. It is thought by removing the government, policies will be pushed through much faster and not face resistance. The team will be in charge of designing reform on an overall basis, arranging and coordinating reform, pushing forward reform as a whole and supervising the implementation of reform plans, according to Xinhua.
