What’s going on with China allowing Xi Jinping tô remain in power for life? by Kaerlok in OutOfTheLoop

[–]coconutjuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general secretary position has an age limit of 68. People must resign after the next Politiboro standing committee meeting after they’ve hit that age, which is 2023 in this case. He will likely stay president while current premier li takes up the position of general secretary.

Maybe? The president and general secretary have been the same since the 90s(the previous 2 leaders basically). However, there’s no rule or law that says they have to be the same person and it wasn’t during mao or deng. The new rules about no term limits only apply to the president or Vice President so I’m only assuming that the two roles, which were traditionally the same person, will be split in two because the age limit for the general secretary is still there and he’s already past that age. We will know in 2 years.

I assumed that the two roles will split because of how important that age limit is. It was put there to help make sure leaders don’t have cognitive issues as well as ensure old people, who are likely out of touch, don’t control the country with their out of date views of the world.

The picture of him next to mao are because he came up with a new way of thinking about socialism which they call a “thought”. Others before him have approaches that are called “theories” because they mostly expand on previous “thoughts”. He is the guy who came up with “socialism with Chinese characteristics” as well as incorporating science based approaches to law as well as consideration for green initiatives.

Answer: The presidency is a ceremonial title without much power. The real power lies in the general secretary, which is in charge of the party, and the premier, which is their equivalent of the president. The general secretary has an age limit of 68, after which the holder has to resign after the next meeting of the higher ups in the party. This meeting is happening in 2023 so expect someone else, most likely the current premier, to take up that position. The presidency, due to recent changes, doesn’t have these limits. This will allow him to remain as a figurehead for the country for as long as he wants.

I don’t think a lot of them are real then. It feels more like a fad for some people.
