Xi’s consolidation of his powers

Letter March 13, 2018
The Chinese premier is now to rule the country for as long as he wishes to

FAISALABAD: Xi Jinping years of effort have at last bore him the fruit of the consolidation of powers of his (now) indefinite ruling term. The Chinese premier is now to rule the country for as long as he wishes to.  However, guarantee to his rule does not guarantee the continuation of China’s journey towards development at the same pace despite the strict reforms being put into effect by Xi.
