China's Communist Party, with eye on history, gives Xi Jinping the same status as Mao

Chinese President Xi Jinping attends an event commemorating the 110th anniversary of Xinhai Revolution at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Oct. 9, 2021. Xi appears to be laying the foundation for a third term as the Communist Party meets in Beijing.

Leaders have set the stage for the Chinese president to extend his rule, and for just the third time ever, approved a political history that gives him status equal to the most important party figures.
