Will Xi rule for life?


China's parliament set to change the constitution so Xi Jinping can be president for as long as he wants.

The Communist Party has governed China for decades and President Xi Jinpingcould become the leader serving Chinese people for years to come. The two-term limit for presidents will soon end.
China's National People's Congress is expected to amend the constitution to allow the president to take the job beyond 10 years. The limit was meant to ensure there would not be a repeat of Mao Zedong's rule, which lasted for decades.
