Chinese Political History II: Chapter 10, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution
========================================================================

TASK
Write about 120 words on the 2018 amendment that states only what the
course sourced, marks one uncertainty, and makes no prediction.

MODEL PARAGRAPH (about 120 words)
On 11 March 2018 the National People's Congress voted 2,958 to 2, with 3
abstentions, to remove from Article 79 the rule that the president and vice
president must not serve more than two consecutive terms. Xinhua had
announced the Central Committee's proposal on 25 February. The same
amendment wrote party leadership into the main text, added Xi Jinping
Thought to the preamble and created the National Supervisory Commission.
State media said the aim was to align the president with the general
secretary and the CMC chair, which had no formal limit. Xi was re-elected
general secretary in October 2022 and president in 2023. One summary gives
26 January 2018 as an earlier proposal date, which I could not reconcile
with the 25 February announcement.

CHECKS
- Every figure and date appears in the chapters.
- One uncertainty is marked (the 26 January date).
- No claim about what happens next.
