Beijing, China. Xi Jinping wins an unprecedented third term as leader. Xi Jinping has extended his rule over the Communist Party and will lead China for a second decade, having pushed his rivals out of retirement and positioned loyalists for promotion to the top echelons of power. A third term for Xi overturns succession rules designed to prevent the return of one-man rule. The greatest drama during Saturday’s official closing of the week-long party congress, which precedes the unveiling of the new leadership lineup, occurred when Xi’s 79-year-old predecessor, Hu Jintao, was (forcibly) forced out of his chair and led out of the room midway through the proceedings. The Xinhua news agency’s Twitter account later claimed that Hu “was not feeling well during the session.” Xi Jinping dominates Chinese politics in a way no leader has since Mao Zedong. A third term gives him more room to achieve his broader goals: achieving “national rejuvenation” to transform China into a global power and arming the country for a potential confrontation with the West. In addition to Xi, the party has unveiled other members of the inner circle of top leaders responsible for running the country and officials in charge of strengthening the country’s military. The names on those lists offer clues to how much power Mr. Xi enjoys and how he intends to use it. Appointments to a new Central Committee, which has 205 full members and 171 alternates, have pointedly omitted some senior officials, most notably Premier Li Keqiang, China’s second-ranked leader, who has at times issued signals on economic policy that contradict Xi’s views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
