China: Term Limits to Be Abolished for Xi Jinping

According to Xinhua, there is a proposal to limit the term limits in place on the President and Vice-President of the People's Republic of China. Under the current constitution, the President and Vice-President are limited to two five year terms.

This isn't much of a surprise. Many China watchers have assumed Xi would try to remain in power. Some speculated that he would pull a Putin, switching formal roles but remaining in control. Other suggested that he might bring back the position of chairman.

Xi just entered his second term last year. Looks like we will be dealing with him for decades to come.
