Dear President Xi Jinping,
Congratulations on your third term as general-secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. It has been a while since I last wrote to you and I hope this letter finds your excellency well.
Or, perhaps some critics may now be calling you "Your Majesty the Emperor." It must not have been easy for you to achieve such a powerful concentration of power by effectively abolishing the long-established system of collective leadership and the age-limit requirements for holding office in your party.
