BEIJING March 17 (TNS):<\/strong> China\u2019s largely rubber-stamp parliament on Saturday unanimously re-elected Xi Jinping as the country\u2019s president.
\nThe vote was witnessed by journalists inside central Beijing\u2019s Great Hall of the People.
\nThe legislature is packed with delegates loyal to the ruling Communist Party meaning Xi\u2019s re-election was never in doubt. On Sunday parliament voted to amend the constitution to remove presidential term limits, meaning Xi can stay indefinitely.
\nMeanwhile, China\u2019s parliament chose former top graft-buster Wang Qishan, a key ally of President Xi Jinping, as vice president on Saturday, a widely expected move that nonetheless breaks with convention and underlines Xi\u2019s dominant authority.<\/p>\n

\nXi was also re-elected president by parliament, with no votes cast against him. The body is packed with party loyalists and there was no chance he would not win the vote.
\nWang bowed twice and then walked over to Xi to shake his hand after the vote was announced inside Beijing\u2019s Great Hall of the People. Only one person voted against Wang out of the 2,970 votes cast.
\nXi and Wang spoke only to pledge allegiance to the constitution, with Wang giving the podium an emphatic tap after he finished.
\nKnown as \u201cthe firefighter\u201d for his central role in tackling issues like corruption and domestic financial problems over the years, Wang also has experience dealing with the United States in his former role as a vice premier who led annual economic talks with Washington.
\nHe was a major player in Xi\u2019s battle against corruption, with dozens of senior officials jailed during his tenure as the top graft-fighter, including the fearsome domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang, now serving life in jail.

\nZhao Wanping, a delegate from the central province of Anhui, told Reuters Wang\u2019s election was in line with the will of the people, pointing to his anti-corruption efforts.

\n\u201cOur country needs someone like him who will continue to step out and shoulder responsibilities for the people,\u201d he said.
\nLast Sunday, parliament voted to amend the constitution, which removed presidential and vice-presidential term limits, meaning Xi can stay in power indefinitely, a move the government has presented as widely welcomed despite criticism that has evaded the censors and seeped onto Chinese social media.
