At the session of the 14th National People's Congress held in Beijing, Xi Jinping was unanimously re-elected as President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Council of the country.
It is noted that the politician will become the head of state for the third time in a row, which became possible due to amendments to the Chinese constitution. In 2018, the provision was removed from the basic law, according to which the head of the republic had the right to hold this position for only two five-year terms.
Besides the names of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, a provision about "the guiding ideas of Xi Jinping under the conditions of socialism with Chinese characteristics" was also written into the constitution.
It will be recalled 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, he became the chairman of the People's Republic of China and, accordingly, according to the existing tradition, the 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 on the general secretary's term of office in the party charter.
It will be recalled that in March 2018, China's National People's Congress approved the abolition of presidential term limits, which will allow Xi Jinping to hold the post for life.
