Written and fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Xi Jinping was elected to a second term as president of China in March 2018. Also in 2018, the National People’s Congress passed an amendment abolishing term limits for China's president and vice president. This allowed Xi Jinping to remain in office beyond 2023, when he would have been due to step down.
