Chinese President Xi Jinping secures third term as he faces increasingly strained relations with the West over Beijing’s tacit support for Russia, allegations of election interference in Canada, and spy balloons over North America
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has officially secured a third term as president, after a unanimous vote by the 2,977-strong National People’s Congress, China’s rubber-stamp parliament.endorsed for an unprecedented third term as Communist Party general secretary
Mr. Li, former party chief of Shanghai, China’s financial capital, is a longtime acolyte of Mr. Xi’s, and may be given more power and responsibility than his predecessor Li Keqiang, increasingly sidelined over the past decade. Beijing’s tacit support for Russia’s war in Ukraine has also severely damaged relations with Europe and the U.S., both vital markets for China, while the country’s now-abandoned one-child policy has hastened a growing demographic crisis that threatens to make China old before it becomes rich.
That included a face-to-face meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, the first since he was elected, and a temporary easing of tensions between the two superpowers. But what little hope there was for rapprochement was dashed this year, after a Chinese spy balloon was spotted over the U.S., sparking a new round of denunciations and once again putting relations into the deep freeze., Mr. Xi accused Western countries, led by the U.S.
“We are at a dangerous inflection point,” said Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations. “With ‘engagement’ rendered dysfunctional as an operating system, U.S.-China relations have been left hurtling toward an ever more dangerous precipice.”
