It’s Official: China Repeals Term Limits, Allowing Xi To Stay In Power Forever

 

As expected (and predicted, and propagandized), China’s National People’s Congress overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment to eliminate presidential term limits, paving the way for President Xi Jinping to stay in power after his second term ends in 2023.

The vote was as follows, per the AFP’s Joanna Chiu: 2958 in favor, 2 against, 3 abstentions, 1 invalid vote.

Chinese president to be put on a par with former paramount leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping whose authority must not be challenged

President Xi Jinping is likely to be formally endorsed as the “core” leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the four-day 6th Plenum of the party’s decision-making Central Committee starting on Monday.

This will put him on a par with former paramount leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping whose authority is firmly established and must not be questioned let alone challenged.

China’s President Xi stresses Communist leadership over religion

As Putin believes in ‘the power of man‘, so is it for the CCP as well. In other words, God takes a backseat in two anti-Christ nations. They flatly do not recognize Him and fully reject Him. Biblically speaking, Communism is the political arm of Satan.

 

China is estimated to be home to hundreds of millions of Buddhists, Christians and Muslims, with the Communist Party seeking to “guide” believers while cracking down on unofficial religious groups

 

Chinese religious groups must obey the staunchly atheist ruling Communist Party, President Xi Jinping has told a key meeting on religion according to state media, as Beijing tightens controls on civil society organisations and churches.

“Religious groups… must adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC),” Xi told senior party officials at a conference ending on Saturday, the official Xinhua news agency said.

But party members must be “unyielding Marxist atheists”, he said, calling on them to “resolutely guard against overseas infiltrations via religious means”.

Xi Jinping pushes his Taiwan policy

With the US in suicidal free-fall, China knows now is the time for charm diplomacy. All it has to do is point the finger in America’s direction to show that it’s not a reliable partner, that China is able to push American military out of the Asia Pacific with its missile technology. Taiwan, as well as the Koreas and Japan will shift towards an Asian bloc/union with China being the umbrella protectorate. It’s better to join the team if, without US backing, you can’t beat them.

 

Chinese president Xi Jinping, who is also the general secretary of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee, said during his speech on Sept. 26 that “one country, two systems” is his country’s formula for Taiwan’s future, triggering heated debates in Taiwan.

In a speech delivered during a meeting with a Taiwanese delegation composed of the island’s pro-reunification groups, Xi spelled out China’s bottom line on the Taiwan issue before the fourth plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, slated to be held from Oct. 20 to 23.

Xi espoused the “one country, two systems” proposal for unification, mainly based on his judgments of CPC power, China’s role in foreign relations, and the situation in Taiwan.

Xi orders PLA to become ready for ‘real combat’

Xi made the remarks during an inspection conducted from Saturday to Monday at the Guangzhou military theater of operations, a term usually used to emphasize the coordination and joint operations by forces in the air, land and sea, according to a news release issued by military authorities on Wednesday.

Xi also chairs the CPC Central Military Commission, the top decision-making body for China’s armed forces.

China’s People’s Liberation Army, with 2.3 million enlisted personnel, is the largest in the world.
