After the 20th Party Congress, it is clear that Xi Jinping, who is also the president and chairman of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission, is given power to continue as General Secretary of the Communist Party for another term.
The announcement during the Communist Party Congress, which takes place every five years, was expected. At the same time, it was clear on Saturday that China’s Prime Minister Li Keqiang and three other high-ranking officials are being pushed from the top of the party in China.
Something that is interpreted as Xi Jinping further cementing his power in the country. With the re-election of the 69-year-old leader, the Communist Party scraps the limit of two five-year mandate periods that has been in place since 1982.
