The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 20th National Congress is likely to re-elect General Secretary Xi Jinping for a historic third term, setting a new precedent for the country. President Xi Jinping, who has been occupying the top post since 2012, was unanimously chosen as a delegate to the ruling party's 20th national congress at the CPC Guangxi regional meeting on April 22. "The announcement of Xi's unanimous election won a burst of sustained and warm applause at the regional congress on Friday morning," Xinhua reported the same evening.
