The vote was widely regarded as a rubber-stamping exercise. Two delegates voted against the change and three abstained, out of 2,964 votes. China had imposed a two-term limit on its president since the 1990s. But Mr Xi, who would have been due to step down in 2023, defied the tradition of presenting a potential successor during October's Communist Party Congress. After five years, Xi Jinping is tightening his grip on power. How did an unassuming official come to embody China's destiny?

  • ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating – Day 2
    December 8, 2019 Shanghai, China ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating – Day 2 Speed queen Kim Boutin again proved why she is the skater to beat over Short Track’s shortest and wildest distance, claiming her fourth successive 500m gold on day two of the ISU World Cup in Shanghai. Such is Boutin’s raw speed over 500m this season, the Canadian could even afford to be slightly below par in China, taking the gold just ahead of Netherland’s Suzanne Schulting and Italy’s Martina Valcepina despite a performance she later described as below her best. “I’m focusing a lot on my technique and I felt my last two laps today were really bad, so I need to work on that,” she said. “I still feel like I have a lot of things to learn, and maybe that’s why I’m continuing to do well. It was the first time I’ve skated against these particular girls in a final, so it was interesting to see how they race.” Boutin is now the pre-eminent skater in Canada’s women’s team following the retirement of Marianne St Gelais, but it was not long ago she considered quitting the sport to pursue a career in children’s education. But while she still has ambitions in that field, it could be a while yet before she hangs up her skates for good. “Over the summer I questioned myself a lot,” she said. “But we changed our training a little bit to make sure I keep going to work on my skills, which helped.

MP Yousef Al-Fadhalah said on his Twitter account that he will file to grill the prime minister on March 5 if the government allows Health Minister Jamal Al-Harbi to quit, while leaving “suspected corrupt senior bureaucrats” in their positions. The lawmaker said that he had learned that Harbi offered his resignation on Monday during the Cabinet meeting after his demand to sack the undersecretary and a number of senior officials was not accepted by the Cabinet. The controversy over the health minister has been growing even before the November election, after reports that the cost of sending Kuwaitis for treatment abroad skyrocketed to new highs. Some MPs put it at as high as KD 750 million last year. Opposition MPs have alleged that a majority of those sent for treatment abroad were in fact not patients but sent on what they described as “medical tourism or politi- cal medication”, under which thousands of fake patients were sent abroad to appease certain MPs.

Mourning the Soviet Union August 17, 2011 in Books by The China Beat | Permalink By Nicolai Volland Twenty years ago, on 23 August 1991, a grim- looking Boris Yeltsin shoved a sheet of paper in front of Mikhail Gorbachev with the words, “You read this now!” Gorbachev, who had just returned to Moscow after the abortive coup d’état led by KGB generals and hardliners in his own Party, appeared tense and insecure. In front of a stunned international TV audience (original footage here [at 01:25]), he did as he was told. Gorbachev’s decree was the first in a number of documents that led to the ban of the once mighty Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It had been Yeltsin’s bravado, climbing atop a tank at the Russian parliament building and calling on the Moscow population to resist the generals’ power grab, that had saved Gorbachev, the Soviet leader.

  • China Targets More Short Track Golds at Vancouver Olympics 10:53, January 27, 2008
    China targets more short track golds at Vancouver Olympics 10:53, January 27, 2008 China would endeavor to claim more short-track golds at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, said the 40-year-old Li Yan, head coach of the short-track speed skating national team. Li made the remarks at the 11th National Winter Games held here from Jan. 18 to 28. China did not end its winter Olympic gold draught until the Salt Lake City Games in 2002 when Yang Yang (A) took women's 500 meters and 1,000 meters short track titles. Wang Meng won the women's 500 meters at the Turin Olympics and grew up to a leading figure in China's short track. Despite of the fact that China had advantages in women's short-distance events, Li pinned the medal hopes in more events. "Besides the women's 500 meters, we strive to make breakthroughs in the 1,000 meters and even 1,500 meters events," said Li. But Li kept a clear mind at China's short-track level. "There is a substantial gap between China and South Korea at the skills, vision and training. Except the short distance and relay events that China has certain advantages, the long distance events are dominated by the South Koreans," Li told Xinhua. Li believed the gap did not only exist in the national team force, but also in the reserve force. "We are lack of the reserve force. I cannot see the hopeful young players for the national team." "Besides South Korea, Chinese skaters still meet great challenge from Canada and the United States," said Li.

  • Wang Meng's Public Private Memories of Soviet Russia Or the Art Of
    Ylva MONSCHEIN R Paradise Reloaded? Wang Meng’s Public Private Memories of Soviet Russia or the Art of Composing a Capriccio Abstract. WANG Meng 王蒙 (*LRNQ), one of the most prominent and prolific writ- ers of Chinese contemporary literature since the founding of the People’s Republic, is known for having a “strong Russian complex”. This paper examines his lifelong fascination with Russia and the Soviet sphere. In Sulian ji, semi-autobiographical encounters between fact and fiction have the potential of being a transferable indi- cator of the confrontations and entanglements of private memories and public his- tory, of personal fate and national destiny. Literature thus not only provides a key instrument in shaping one’s own identity, but turns out to become a catalyst in re- evoking the collective memory of a whole generation and its lost ideals, as addi- tional case studies of fellow writers may also show. By setting up a memorial to the Soviet Union and a greatly underestimated literary masterpiece, WANG Meng trans- forms Soviet Russia into a Chinese “realm of memory” in its own right. Keywords. Wang Meng, Soviet Union, Russia, Literature, Music. Published in: Gotelind MÜLLER and Nikolay SAMOYLOV (eds.): Chinese Perceptions of Russia and the West.
