Си Цзиньпин служит президентом Китая с 2013 года, потому что он укрепил власть благодаря партийной лояльности, институциональному контролю и конституционным изменениям, которые отменили ограничения на сроки полномочий президента в 2018 году.
Его устойчивое влияние отражает как структурную поддержку КПК, так и эффективное управление экономическим и силовым аппаратом Китая.
Xi eliminated the two term limit that had governed Chinese presidents since Deng Xiaoping. This constitutional reform, passed by the National People's Congress, formalized what was already operational reality: his control of the CCP General Secretary position, the military, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. These levers granted him authority to remove rivals and consolidate bureaucratic loyalty.
Xi's longevity reflects successful navigation of major power competition. Recent diplomatic developments, including US and China discussing reciprocal nuclear site visits, indicate his government maintains engagement capacity despite strategic rivalry. Trump's presidency has reportedly reduced pressure on Xi's regime, affecting calculations among both allies and adversaries about China's trajectory through 2026 and beyond.
