CPC proposes change on Chinese president's term in Constitution

[WreckingBall]

Surprising - I thought the Chinese were very particular about their 2 term limit to ensure power doesn't stay in the hands of one individual.

 

[帅的一匹]

Xi should stay long enough to make China strong, just like Putin.

We don't have better candidate than Xi in CCP system.

The talent pool is limited.

If he can bring Taiwan back, I don't mind he rules until 2028. He need to do something.

 

[Godman]

Xi has enough feats to stay in power for now. If he starts messing up or abusing power he is most likely going to be overthrown by the party.

If Xi is an emperor, he will be a good one.

But I still hope democracy in China. People shall have the right to vote.

This is not a positive development politically for China. Having a two term limit is important in order to prevent one man from accumulating too much power and install his allies all over the government.

I strongly disagree that we do not have anyone better than Xi. It's precisely because all the propaganda surrounding him that people do not get to know other political figures. Are you telling me that they could only find one man in a political party with 80 million members that is capable? Don't let the cult of personality get to your head.

Pros and cons

There is no pro coming out of this. Xi is already ruling without any competition, and able to implement whatever policy he decided on. He still has another 5 years to go even if he abides by the two term limits.

Democracy have to come gradually especially in countries that are targets of subversion by the sole hegemon of the world to avoid the fate that befell the USSR or the Middle East.
Emperors good or otherwise can never fit in the modern world.

To this time , I believe that Xi is actually pro democracy. LOL

I think, he is waiting until all of CPC elders die especially Jiang Zemin. And at that time he may change the constitution. But China shouldn't follow 100 percent western model. Instead China should develop it's own model or we can call it democracy with Chinese characteristics.

This is what deng said after cultural revolution:

Why is the Central Committee proposing the above changes in the leadership of the State Council?

First of all, it is not good to have an over-concentration of power. It hinders the practice of socialist democracy and of the Party’s democratic centralism, impedes the progress of socialist construction and prevents us from taking full advantage of collective wisdom. Over-concentration of power is liable to give rise to arbitrary rule by individuals at the expense of collective leadership, and it is an important cause of bureaucracy under the present circumstances.

Second, it is not good to have too many people holding two or more posts concurrently or to have too many deputy posts. There is a limit to anyone’s knowledge, experience and energy. If a person holds too many posts at the same time, he will find it difficult to come to grips with the problems in his work and, more important, he will block the way for other more suitable comrades to take up leading posts. Having too many deputy posts leads to low efficiency and contributes to bureaucracy and formalism.

Third, it is time for us to distinguish between the responsibilities of the Party and those of the government and to stop substituting the former for the latter. Those principal leading comrades of the Central Committee who are to be relieved of their concurrent government posts can concentrate their energies on our Party work, on matters concerning the Party’s line, guiding principles and policies. This will help strengthen and improve the unified leadership of the Central Committee, facilitate the establishment of an effective work system at the various levels of government from top to bottom, and promote a better exercise of government functions and powers.

Fourth, we must take the long-term interest into account and solve the problem of the succession in leadership. As precious assets of the Party and state, the older comrades shoulder heavy responsibilities. Their primary task now is to help the Party organizations find worthy successors to work for our cause. This is a solemn duty. It is of great strategic importance for us to ensure the continuity and stability of the correct leadership of our Party and state by having younger comrades take the “front-line” posts while the older comrades give them the necessary advice and support.

he can't..
all he can do is talk shit with no prove
afterall, look at indonesia, corrupt as f ck..

Vietnam could surpass Indonesia as leader f southeast Asia. Vietnam mayhave less poor people than Indonesia.

 

[patman]

Most unstable countries are dictatorships , good.

 

[Jlaw]

if China give him extension, other will ask the same. Corruption is in Chinese nature even if we give him hundred year, he will never not able to get rid of all corruption. Chinese corruption is not because of people but our system and our way of practicing of governing, no Chinese was born with corruption but learn to corrupt when they saw how others did, the better way to get rid of corruption is to improve our system and make all official accountable not only to their superiors but Chinese peoples.

So you want China to be like the corrupt western system where special interest groups dictate policies? You got no idea how corrupt the Western governments are.

Taking Taiwan back is obviously one aim. Also, in my view, institutional corruption will take one generation to root out. It is a cultural problem that entrenched itself between 1990s to 2010. The post-80s generation needs to get to 50 years of age to reverse the culture. So Xi Jinping needs to stay for another 10 to 15 years to finish the mission.
