[]
At the media briefing, the NPC Spokesperson spoke about the amendment to the Constitution.
ZHANG YESUI NPC SPOKESPERSON "According to the Charter of the Party, there is no such provision that there shall be no more than two successive terms for the general secretary of CPC Central Committee or the Chairman of the Central Military Commission. And there is no such clause regarding the chairman of the central military commission in the Constitution of the PRC.  So, for the constitution, it follows the same practice regarding the term of the president. It is conducive to upholding the authority of the Party central committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and also the unified leadership. It will also be helpful in strengthening the state leadership system."
