(UTV|COLOMBO) – Chinese President Xi Jinping has told the National People’s Congress (NPC) that China must not become complacent about its development.
Speaking at the closing session of the annual parliament, Mr Xi said China was a critical stage in its history and only socialism could save it.
The NPC is a significant annual marker on China’s political stage.
This year, the meeting was marked by lifting the term limit of the presidency.
The change means Mr Xi can effectively remain China’s president for life.
The parliamentary session meets once a year and usually only rubberstamps changes previously decided by the leadership.
