Beijing, making history in Chinese politics, Xi Jinping, 69, who was chosen as the country’s president for the third consecutive term, took office yesterday.
In our neighboring country China, the president of the country is usually chosen at the conference of the single political party, the Communist Party of China.
According to this, Xi Jinping has been elected as the President of China for the third time.
After the National People’s Congress, which accepts the decision of the Chinese Communist Party as it is, elected Xi Jinping as the president, the 3,000 members here supported him as the president.
Subsequently, Xi Jinping was sworn in as the president yesterday in a program held in Parli.
He has also been elected as the Chairman of China’s Military Commission.
Xi Jinping is the first Chinese president to serve more than two terms since Mao, the founder of the Chinese Communist Party.
Having already completed two five-year terms, he has been elected for an unprecedented third term.
It is noteworthy that he was elected as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in October last year.
In 2018, Xi Jinping abolished the two-term limit, which means he is expected to rule China until his retirement or death.
Zhao Lejie has been elected as the chairman of China Barley and Han Zheng as the new vice chairman.
Li Keqiang, who is very close to the president, is expected to be chosen as the country’s prime minister after the term of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang comes to an end.
Caveman
China’s most powerful leader, Xi Jinping, has overcome many hardships in his early life and entered the political path. Raised with an idea of autonomy from a young age, he lived in cave houses in rural central China at the age of 15. The cave where he died has now become a tourist attraction. In 1974, he started as a party leader of the village’s Chinese Communist Party, went on to become the governor of the province and the party leader, and now sits at the highest level of power in China.
