 This act to assert presidential power became an important part of the NRF's internal political culture, almost a ritualistic form of imbuing the new president with supreme authority and at the same time freeing him from any ties and promises made by the former president; by reshaping the constellation of the stars around the center of power in his own image, the president underwent apotheosis and could never again be challenged. The labor section was also subject of reshufflings, with the forced retirement of Gong Zhen, the president of the All-Daxian Workers Central Union and a [[Qiu Heng]] crony who had been grumbling in private that the union's workers were due for a wide reaching renegotiation. When his comments were leaked to the president, he put in place an operation managed from the Ministry of Labor to give Zhen's internal rivals a shot in the arm; Gong Zhen was scandolously trounced in the internal election when he tried to reelect himself. [[Chi Long Qua]] moved quickly to subdue and bring in line all of the pillars of support that underpinned [[Qiu Heng]]'s power, a playbook that all NRF presidents after him would follow to the letter.
-[[Chi Long Qua]]'s reelection to a second term saw a minor hiccup when despite all of the NRF's trickery and electoral thuggery it saw its support slip by five percentage points, a drop in support that might be explained by a particularly silver tongued Liberal party candidate who positioned himself to the right of the NRF and attacked it for its 'socialist' positions, siphoning some middle class votes with his tactic. In any event he was crushed at the polls and later disappeared without a trace but the party took it as a warning; they were not differentiated enough in their economic policies from their much maligned foes and the public could tell. Chi Long Qua's second term saw a number of new flagship policies come to the forefront, one of the most important was his 'March Inland' campaign to direct growth away from the saturated and overpopulated coastal regions towards the interior; he distributed a limited amount of state lands to the urban poor to encourage them to settle in rural localities. The program was mildly successful, an estimated 30 million people moved out of the coastal cities by 1972 and the land distribution scheme continued under various names until the fall of the NRF. Foreign policy-wise [[Chi Long Qua]] favored a muscular foreign policy and was not very open to compromise on [[Daxia]]n objectives. He lent significant political and material support to [[Canpei]]'s government of national emergency on the stated condition that it follow [[Daxia]]n leadership of the region. When a top [[Canpei]] official suggested an arrangement dependent on 'shared values' [[Chi Long Qua]] threatened an invasion; in the president's eyes the deal was simple: you receive our generosity and do as we say, there is no wiggle room.

Relations with [[Rusana]] continued in the same track as before, Qua exerted a heavy handed pressure on its internal affairs with the connivance of minority groups and bribed tribal chiefs and supported by his military presence. He continually pushed for more rights to be enshrined for ethnic Daxians and for the implementation of a quota system for political representation and cabinet positions. The implementation of his proposed quota system was one of the last achievements in the realm of foreign policy.
