Abstract: In March 2018, Chinese lawmakers approved changes to China’s Constitution that included removing the term limit on the presidency and vice presidency, allowing President Xi Jinping to remain in power beyond 2023. Other key changes to the constitution include the establishment of supervisory commissions, incorporation of Xi’s ideology, emphasis on Party leadership and a requirement for all state functionaries to take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution when assuming office.
