The deputies of the National People's Congress of CHINA (NPC) have re-elected Xi Jinping as the leader of the People's Republic of China, according to the Xinhua news agency. He became the first chairman in the history of the country, approved for a third five-year term.

In addition, Xi was re-elected to the post of chairman of the Central Military Council (CMC) of the PRC. 2952 people participated in the voting, the decision was made unanimously, reports CNN.

Han Zheng, First Vice Premier of the State Council, was elected Vice President of the People's Republic of China, and Zhao Leji, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China , became Chairman of the Standing Committee of the NPC. They took an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China at the Great Hall of the People. The parliamentarians also approved a plan to reform the apparatus of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.

According to BLOOMBERG, Premier Li Keqiang, who led the government for two five-year terms, was not present at the vote. In autumn, he did not join the new 20th CPC Central Committee. Li Qiang, ex-secretary of the Shanghai City Committee of the Communist Party of China (CCP), is expected to be appointed to this position on March 11; CNN calls him one of Xi Jinping's protégés.

Xi has been the HEAD of state since 2013, and five years later he was approved for a new five-year term. In 2018, at the session of the NPC, amendments to the Constitution were adopted to abolish the restriction of the powers of the President of the PRC to two terms.

Under Xi Jinping, China has cemented its reputation as the world's second largest economy (after the United States ), but the CORONAVIRUS pandemic, a zero-tolerance policy for covid-19 and tight restrictions have slowed economic growth. So, if before the pandemic, China's GDP grew by about 6% annually, then last year it grew by only 3%. Xi's third term as head of China will begin amid not only economic problems, but also the lowest level of relations with the United States in decades, AFP notes.
