Chinese President Xi Jinping was elected to a second term with 100 per cent of the vote on Saturday (March 17), days after the lifting of presidential term limits allowed him to stay in office indefinitely.
Mr. Xi, 64, was also elected chairman of the state Central Military Commission (CMC), securing all 2,970 ballots cast at Saturday's (March 17) meeting of the annual session of the National People’s Congress (NPC), or Parliament.
Together with his re-election as Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary and appointment as chairman of the party CMC last October, he has completed his hold on power over party and state.
According to some observers, Xi Jinping begins his second five-year term as the most powerful man in China since Mao Zedong.
