XI Jinping was handed a third term as Chinese president on Friday, capping a rise that has seen him become the country's most powerful leader in generations.
The appointment by China's rubber-stamp parliament comes after Xi locked in another five years as head of the Chinese Communist Party in October.Since then, the 69-year-old Xi has weathered widespread protests over his zero-Covid policy and the deaths of countless people after its abandonment.Those issues have been avoided at this week's National People's Congress , a carefully choreographed event that is also set to appoint Xi ally Li Qiang as the new premier.
Xi's re-election is the culmination of a remarkable rise in which he has gone from a relatively little-known party apparatchik to the leader of a rising global power.His coronation sets him up to become communist China's longest-serving president, and means Xi could rule well into his seventies -- if no challenger emerges.
