NEW EMPEROR IN CHINA? Present Xi voting to remove presidential term limits; President Xi Jinping

LISTEN NOW! Or WATCH FULL PROGRAM! In America, we are fortunate enough to have a government that endures a process of nomination and election when choosing their Presidents. In regard to China, President Xi Jinping is proposing an idea that would give him a lifetime reign over the nation of China. It is important to understand that absolute power corrupts.

If Xi were to get his way, “the move could make Xi the longest-running Chinese leader in decades”. If enacted, Xi would have a leadership similar to Mao Tse-tung. During Mao’s leadership, he killed more than 45 Million Chinese people. The very purpose of limiting a leader’s length in power is to ward against such abuses of power. Understanding this helps us to understand the blessing of the U.S. Constitution. Presently, China is the 2^nd most powerful nation in the world, next to America.
