The American newspaper stated that President Xi is also attending the Bali meeting in a stronger position after strengthening his rule following the Chinese Communist Party Congress, and continuing in office for a third term of 5 years, noting that it is a "guided" choice and not through free elections.
The Chinese president won a "historic" third term at the head of the Communist Party, at the conclusion of the 20th Party Congress, which enabled Xi to consolidate his power.
He was also appointed again at the head of the armed forces.
