The pomp and ceremony of President Xi's oath taking

Xi Jinping on Saturday became the first Chinese state leader to take a constitutional oath, as the country’s president and head of its military. The ceremony – which took place after Xi received unanimous support from lawmakers to serve a second term as president – was a symbolic move to show the significance of the constitution, which was revised last week to include Xi’s political theory, “Xi Jinping Thought”.
