Rule for life

Follow-up to "China Rule"

Last week's posts said that China's President Xi Jinping was positioning himself to take more power. The National People's Congress" met over the weekend and approved his proposal to abolish presidential term limits. 

So now Xi Jinping has paved the way for him to rule China for the rest of his life. The Council also inserted his philosophy and his name into their national constitution. A campaign started in 2012 to investigate public officials (which has so far punished about two million of them) was made into a formal Commission.

A political analyst in Beijing says, “The room for debate is becoming narrower.” 

One of the Congress delegates who voted for Xi's power grab tells us why: “Xi has shown us the right direction in development and if you have found the right path, why change?”
