Xi Jinping will become, in October 2022, the first Chinese president to stay in power for a third coronation at the head of the most populous country on the planet. In 2018, the strong man from Beijing had the Constitution amended, so he can in theory preside over the People’s Republic for life. His ambition? Overtake Mao Zedong. The Chinese president presents himself as the providential leader who will complete the work of the Great Helmsman and lead the country to the zenith of its power.
