The politician became the first president of the republic in the history of China, elected for a third term.
At the Beijing session of the 14th National People’s Congress, Xi Jinping was unanimously re-elected to the post of leader of the PRC and chairman of the country’s Central Military Council. It was reported on March 10 by the Interfax news agency.
It is known that the politician will become the head of state for the third time in a row, which became possible in connection with the changes in the Chinese constitution. In 2018, the provision was removed from the basic law, according to which the president of the republic has the right to hold this position for only two five-year terms.
Also, the constitution, with the names of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, includes a provision on “Xi Jinping’s guiding ideas under the conditions of socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
Recall that Xi Jinping was born on June 15, 1953. In 2012, he became the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and in 2013 and 2018 – Chairman of the PRC and, accordingly, according to the prevailing tradition, Chairman of the country’s Central Military Council.
At the CPC congresses in 2017 and 2022, Xi Jinping was re-elected general secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, as there are no restrictions in the party charter regarding the terms of office of the general secretary.
It will be recalled that in March 2018, the People’s Congress of China approved the abolition of term limits for the presidency, thanks to which Xi Jinping will remain in this position for life.
