Highlights 1 Xi is likely to continue in power till post 2022. China's Communist Party (CPC) today unveiled its new leadership for the next five years, but without an apparent successor to President Xi Jinping in a suggestion he is likely to continue post-2022. Of significance was the absence of any leader who would be young enough to take over from Xi in 2022, suggesting Xi is likely to remain in power beyond the end of his second five-year-term. This means Xi is likely to stay on beyond 2022 in some capacity, most likely as Party General Secretary. "We will rid ourselves of any virus that erodes the fabric of the Party," Xi said, adding that China "will work with other nations to build a global community of shared future".
