Xi Jinping Casts a Ballot

Over the weekend, the final step in Xi Jinping’s grab for life-long power in China was completed when the National People’s Congress voted 2,959 to 2 (there were three abstentions) to abolish term limits for his job as president.

Xi also heads the military and the Communist Party.
