Communist Party leaders to debate President Xi’s third term
The central committee of China’s ruling Communist Party on Monday opened a four-day meeting to discuss adopting a rare “historic resolution” that would allow President Xi Jinping a third term.
This would be the third time in the party’s 100-year history that such a resolution was adopted, after 1945 and 1981.
The party said the historic resolution is intended to summarise the party’s “great achievements and historic experiences.”
Coming in the run-up to the party’s congress in autumn 2022, the resolution is intended to cement Mr Xi’s position of power.
He would be the first leader since revolution-era luminary Mao Zedong, the founder of communist China, to have a third term.
Ahead of this week’s meeting, party propaganda has been praising Mr Xi.
The official news agency Xinhua called the 68-year-old “a man of determination and action. A man of profound thoughts and feelings. A man who inherited a legacy and dares to innovate, and a man who has forward-looking vision and is committed to working tirelessly.”
