China's Xi Jinping retains his position as state president for another five years, as expected.
Summary by NewsWall Mar 10 23
- In China, the presidency is largely ceremonial; the majority of Xi's power stems from his role as leader of the ruling Communist Party and commander-in-chief of the military.
- Xi won a third term as party chief and surrounded himself with loyalists and allies at a Communist Party congress in October, surprising many observers who had expected other factions in the party to be influential enough to retain some representation in the party's top ranks.
- However, Xi's time in power has been turbulent.
- He is already the leader of the more powerful CMC party.
