Chinese leader Xi Jinping is all but certain to secure a third five-year term and rule China until at least 2028, after two senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials were not named to the communist regime’s new leadership group.

On Oct. 22, the Chinese regime’s 20th Party Congress, a twice-a-decade political event, came to a close, shuffling in a new group of Chinese officials that make up the regime’s Central Committee, a 200-plus-member body comprised of the Party elite.
