Why did Jinping create the second most powerful position within the CCP?

People assume China's premier, Li Qiang, is the country's second most powerful man. But he is not. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has made Li the weakest Chinese premier ever. The recent State Institutional Reforms further strengthened the Party's control and weakened State Council's role. Xi has installed a CCP leader, a politburo standing committee member, in critical positions, making him the second most powerful man in China. But Xi's ultimate goal may be to give himself a promotion one day.
