In March 2020, the annual meeting of China's national legislature in Beijing was delayed for the first time in decades, as Chinese President Xi Jinping attempted to gain control over what would fast become a global pandemic.
One year on, the high-profile event is due to start on Friday, in line with pre-pandemic traditions, in an atmosphere of triumph for the Chinese Communist Party and Xi, who has emerged from the crisis more powerful than ever.
The coronavirus has mostly been brought under control inside China's borders, while the country's economy has rapidly rebounded from the damage dealt by the pandemic. China is expected to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy in 2028, five years earlier than previously estimated.
Xi's success in handling the pandemic has demonstrated to the Party and any remaining critics that "even the pandemic couldn't affect him," said Steven Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute.
Now Xi is working to cement his place in the pantheon of Chinese leaders ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party's founding in July, experts said, looking to place himself alongside the founder of the People's Republic of China -- Mao Zedong.
Xi's initial 10-year term as general secretary of the Party ends in November 2022. But at a time in China's political calendar when a clear successor would usually be expected to emerge, Tsang said there is only one likely candidate for the Communist Party's top job.
"We know exactly who the successor to Xi Jinping is, it's even clearer than ever," said Tsang. "Xi Jinping."
Xi triumphant
Traditionally, every March the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) gather for a dual meeting to pass or endorse legislation, known colloquially as the Two Sessions.

Yep! Clearly has more power than ever...
The 2020 election fiasco guaranteed that...
King of the world for the moment.....
Now that he has President Le Petomane to do his bidding, we won’t be getting in his way.
RE: King of the world for the moment.....
Even the King of the world won’t live forever. Mao Tze Tung died and after that, a power struggle ensued. Not sure if this will happen again in China.
There always is in commie countries even if we don’t see it.
That’s how Xi got there.
So CNN reports it and it must be true. I have read and heard on alternative news sites that there is an internal struggle going on to get rid of the CCP. So who knows? And the chances of China’s economy eclipsing ours is highly unlikely.
THE BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide AND THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY
If I live in China and refuse to support the regime, does that make me a Not Xi?
