🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping was unanimously reelected for a third presidential term on Friday, effectively becoming the first Chinese officials to do so.
▪️ The Chinese president first came to the top job in March 2013, later going on to be reelected for his second five-year term in 2018.
▪️ Since his election, China has seen more than 100 million people, mostly from its rural population rise out of poverty. In more recent years, he has called the reunification of China and Taiwan a top priority of his administration. Last year, he said he aims to complete that goal by 2050.
