How did Chinese President Xi Jinping rise to power? - BBC News

China's ruling Communist Party is expected to hand a third five-year term to Xi Jinping.
The historic move is due at a Communist Party Congress in Beijing beginning on 16 October - one of the most important meetings in the party's history.
The decision - which comes after a two-term limit was abolished in 2018 - would further tighten his grip on China.
It is possible that the 69-year-old president, who is arguably the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong in the 1970s, will remain in power for the rest of his life.

What China has achieved in decades is truly remarkable. Before we judge the Chinese government, we should look at our own government and society. In the west we have homeless people living on streets, racial discrimination, gun violence on a daily basis, education system lacking funding, etc. Just because China does things differently doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wrong way.
