Description:

21st Century China Center faculty reflect on Sunday's announcement by Chinese Communist Party to end term limits on the presidency, clearing the way for President Xi Jinping to stay in power indefinitely. Even in the context of the party's authoritarian rule, it is a significant break from rules established in the 1980s to prevent the country from returning to the days when Mao Zedong dominated every sphere of the political system.

Susan Shirk is the chair of the 21st Century China Center, Barry Naughton is the Sokwanlok professor of international affairs, and Victor Shih is the Ho Miu Lam professor of political science, and Lei Guang is the Director of the 21st Century China Center.
