Media Eye News Bureau: China recently dismissed worldwide concerns over the prospect of President Xi Jinping becoming “emperor for life”, and stated that a strong and consistent leadership is needed for the country's modernisation.
The Communist Party of China, (CPC) had proposed to amend the country's constitution to remove the two term limit for the President and Vice President, which potentially allows Xi to rule for life.
Xi's ambitious modernisation of military, expansion of Chinese naval power into the disputed South China Sea, acquisition of naval logistic bases including in Sri Lanka, Djibouti and Gwadar in Pakistan under his first term are some of the things that arose global concerns.
Xi has so far launched the multi-billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) which includes the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) that traverses through Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) to expand China's influence worldwide.
