The Chinese President Xi Jinping has told the Communist Party Congress that China should take centre stage in the world and work to build a great power.

The address, which lasted over three hours, provided important policy clues for the direction of the country.

But he acknowledged it faced severe challenges.

He said a zero tolerance fight against party corruption would go on and vowed to strengthen China's debt-ridden state enterprises, while also promoting globally competitive companies.
