http://freebeacon.com/national-security/chinas-xi-assume-greater-dictatorial-power/China's Communist Party on Sunday moved closer to reinstituting the personality cult-like leadership under Mao Zedong by ending term limits for current supreme leader Xi Jinping.
The party announced Sunday the Chinese constitution will do away with the two, five-year term limit on Xi, the party secretary general, paving the way for him to become president for life.
The state-run Xinhua news agency said the requirement for China's president and vice president to serve no more than two consecutive terms was removed from the constitution.
