Xi Jinping won his third term as China's president on Friday after an official vote by parliament, the culmination of a rise that has seen him become the country's most powerful leader in generations, Forbes reports.

The result of the deputies' vote, announced shortly before 11:00 (03:00 GMT), was unanimous: 2,952 votes in favour, zero against, zero abstentions.
