How the West misread Xi: China abolished term limits to ensure effective governance, not one-man rule

The Western media have portrayed Xi’s extension of power in a negative light even though there are checks on his power, and China today is very different from during the Cultural Revolution.


Tam Yiu-chung has a point: Beijing’s Hong Kong policy will only get tougher

The warning from the only Hongkonger on the NPC Standing Committee should be taken seriously, because the end of term limits for Xi Jinping means Beijing won’t be taking a softer line on Hong Kong any time soon.


Beyond term limits: China’s new constitution is written for a nation on the rise

The latest amendments, of which the controversial removal of presidential term limits was one, show a newly confident nation following its own path.


For Xi Jinping, do titles matter more than they should?

Now in position to lead his nation indefinitely, the leader could be the most powerful man in Beijing since Mao Zedong, but history suggests titles and power don’t necessarily go hand in hand.


‘President for life’ Xi risks repeat of China’s Mao-era mistakes

A reliance on the strongman model of leadership poses dangers not only to the Chinese president – but to China itself.


Why China’s silence on Xi’s term limits move portends trouble

Forget the trade deficit – China’s trust deficit with the West threatens to do far more damage.


China needs Xi Jinping at the helm for at least a decade more to finish his anti-corruption work and build an effective system

The removal of the term limit on the presidency, enabling Xi Jinping to stay in office indefinitely, will allow him to see through his anti-corruption campaign.


Xi’s no Mao … or Deng … or Chiang – so who is he?

The scrapping of presidential term limits in China puts a question mark over what will come next. But ignore lazy rhetoric that likens Xi to an emperor – China’s chequered history of power transitions provides few answers.


What an unlimited Xi presidency means for China’s neighbours

Scrapping the two-term limit on the Chinese presidency will have profound ramifications for the region. While Asia may have to accept a more assertive China is here to stay, most countries have reasons for cautious optimism.


With an end to term limits, Xi can realise his Chinese dream – but will the price for China be too high?

Xi Jinping may have good intentions for removing the rule limiting a president to two terms in office but, in the long run, society won’t be better off by overturning an institution put in place to prevent power abuse.


Proposal to abolish term limit for president could buy more time to pursue reforms

As Xi Jinping pushes for the abolition of restriction on years in power, the case for strong leadership needs to be balanced against painful lessons of history


Too late to ‘pocket first’ as Xi seeks to abolish term limits

Pan-dems ignored the advice of Shih Wing-ching on the 2015 reform package but now with events in Beijing they would be wise to pursue a different course


Xi Jinping as president beyond 2023 may be good for China – though the West won’t believe it

China’s move to scrap the presidential term limit cannot be seen purely in black and white terms. Strongman leadership is not reviled in Asia the way it is in the West.


Sino File‘President for life Xi’ risks repeat of China’s Mao-era mistakes

China BriefingWhy China’s silence on Xi’s term limits move portends trouble

Quick TakeXi’s no Mao … or Deng … or Chiang – so who is he?

Asian AngleWhat an unlimited Xi presidency means for China’s neighbours

My TakeToo late to ‘pocket first’ as Xi seeks to abolish term limits

Tam has a point: Beijing’s Hong Kong policy will only get tougher

China’s new constitution befits a nation on the rise

For Xi Jinping, do titles matter more than they should?

China needs Xi to stay at the helm to finish his anti-corruption drive

Will China pay too high a price for ending curb on leader’s power?

Proposal to abolish term limit for president could buy more time to pursue reforms
