The Transfer of Power is Complete

On Thursday, March 14, 2013, Xi Jingping assumed the presidency of China. Of the 2,956 delegates, only one voted against Xi. Three delegates abstained. Li Yuanchao was named vice president.

Assuming the presidency completed the transition of power to Xi. The process began four months ago when he was named chairman of the Central Military Commission and general secretary of the Communist Party. This final step put him in charge of all three centers of power in China.
