China's party says public unanimously backs scrapping presidential term limits

Original: “Regions, departments and members of the party and the public have unanimously called for the rules on presidential term

Chinese authorities announced that regions, departments, party members and the public had unanimously called for revising constitutional rules on presidential term limits, a move that would allow Xi Jinping to stay in power beyond 2023. The claim of unanimous support drew wide attention and skepticism abroad, with observers noting the decision was announced rather than debated.

Why now: The abolition of presidential term limits would let Xi Jinping rule indefinitely, a major change to China's political system.
