Should term limit for China's presidency remain the same, be extended, or eliminated?

Fyi the Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Muhammad was in office for well over 20 years and Malaysia is a non-dictatorial country.
Yeah, but the Malaysian Constitution does not have a clause stipulating that the head of state can only serve a certain period of time. And, on a personal note trust me, Mahatir ain't all chuckles and sunshine/

Well since this is a forum on WW3 and its possibilities, I can say this much for certain. We are seeing an eerie rerun of the events leading up to 1912, but instead of just the Balkans, it seems that the entire globe is a powder keg this time, everything just fits right in. The geopolitical tensions, the various international crisis and disputes, the personalities of the various leaders of the respective nations involved.
It is surreal that this is all happening just at the centenary end of ww1.

Where did you get the idea that this forum is on WW3 and possibilities?

Strange Western position since they charge that all Chinese leaders are the same. So why would they care about term limits in China? Looking for any excuse to delegitimize China?

Where's the Xi worship in China since they charge he's exactly like Mao? Even the Western media can't point out cases of cult worship. The fact is any Chinese leader that is liked (or in Western terms has high approval ratings), the West will compare them to Mao in negative terms. Anyone who is liked in China without the West's approval is bad for China. Again the Chinese don't know what they're doing so this justifies the West taking over.

What the West hates about Xi is all things that make China strong. They want a weak China. A strong China means they have no say... something they don't give to China with their countries. If they don't have any say then it is evil. One of the first things the West hated about Xi was his anti-corruption campaign. Of course they're going to hate it. What do corrupt people do with their corrupt money? They buy Western luxury goods. Western luxury companies took a hit. That just shows you how much corruption exists that is ignored and perpetuated by the West that it drastically affected Western luxury companies' value in the global market. Xi can take credit for the explosion of innovation in China. He turned China from joke to threat when it comes to innovations. This is what they're really against.

I don't think anyone is trying to deny Xi's success in anti-graft, environmental protection, innovation, etc. The problem is that changing the established constitution might have unsavory consequences. Many enlightened rulers are senile and ineffectual in their old age, for instance.

Well people are reacting to a Western spin. It shouldn't be surprising that a communist government can change tradition laws like they do in Western democracies. But somehow Western democracies can change laws. Most people outside China probably never knew there were term limits for a Chinese leader. It's a dog whistle story.
