He has already been re-elected as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and has now completed his “re-election” as Chairman. His third term is considered to be the end of the collective leadership system of the Chinese Communist Party after Deng Xiaoping and may also signify the official return of “strongman politics” in the history of the CCP. At the same time, the Republic of China on Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has proposed a plan to restore cross-strait air passenger services and will consider the conditions proposed by China to restore flights, demonstrating Taiwan’s goodwill.
