Chinese President Xi Jinping was unanimously voted in by a whopping 2,950 yeas to 0 nays, granting him what mainstream media is calling an “unprecedented” third term that will last 5 years, as the Financial Review pointed out that this puts ‘him on track to stay in power for life.’
As Newser explains:
Xi, 69, had himself named to a third five-year term as party general secretary in October, breaking with a tradition under which Chinese leaders handed over power once a decade.
No candidate lists were distributed, and Xi and those awarded other posts were believed to have run unopposed. The election remains almost entirely shrouded in secrecy, apart from the process in which delegates to the congress put four ballots into boxes placed around the vast auditorium of the Great Hall of the People.
Xi was also unanimously named commander of the 2 million-member People’s Liberation Army, a force that explicitly takes its orders from the party rather than the country.
Li Qiang, the face of mandating the harsh Covid-19 edicts and lockdowns, was handpicked by Xi to be the Premier, and lead Cabinet and caretaker of the economy.
Newser added, ‘Xi’s new term and the appointment of loyalists to top posts underscores his near-total monopoly on Chinese political power, eliminating any potential opposition to his hyper-nationalistic agenda of building China into the top political, military, and economic rival to the US and the chief authoritarian challenge to the Washington-led democratic world order.’
Since the Communist Party took over in 2012, Xi and his allies, like all other communist regimes before them, ‘removed’ the competition and effectively ended term limits.
As explained by NDTV in 2018, Xi and his party ‘secured a path to rule indefinitely as parliament abolished presidential term limits, handing him almost total authority to pursue a vision of transforming the nation into an economic and military superpower.’
‘The move reverses the era of “collective” leadership and orderly succession that was promoted by late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping to ensure stability following the turbulent one-man rule of Communist China’s founder Mao Zedong,’ the outlet added.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
Proverbs 28:15
And yet there are boatloads of idiots – or as Stalin would call them, “useful idiots” – in the West that actually want Communism. The Young Turks are rabid communists, for example, as are idiots like Bernie Sanders that satanists like Joe Rogan have endorsed. Obviously this was just a show-election to all the idiots out there to make them think they have some kind of democracy. If anyone one of the party members voted no, that be the last of him…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

If President Dictator Xi doesn’t die first, he will become part of the 200 million man army of the Antichrist.
He thinks he’ll be invincible when the Lord Jesus Christ faces him and the rest, and all He will do is speak His words – the word of God (the sword proceeding out of His mouth) and that 200 million man army will be wiped out and reduced to carnage including Xi!
If anyone voted nay, they would end up with a bad credit score I believe. That’s why there weren’t any.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
