China’s Xi arrives in Moscow for first visit since Russia invaded

In practices the timing makes it a "slightly" reluctant support for the >> >> invasion IMHO.
Whatever.
The three active players are facing a "chicken rib" situation. Xi is trying to
find a face-saving out for them. The world will also welcome peace. But
Xi certainly has a difficult job cut out for him.
Nothing is too hard for Xi. President for life is the best.
Don't know what you mean by describing Xi as President for life?
Can you really see the future?
Formally President Xi is "president for lifer" more than even Putin [A][B]. Putin "resets" the limits. Formally you are right. Practice "may be" different. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
You are hoping. I am preparing for Chinese Lukashenko [C]
Or are you arrogating yourself above all Chinese people such that your
say so will eventually turned true no matter how the Chinese think?
For me it merely not learning on USA mistakes/fixes. USA introduced
(formal constitutional) limit on number of USA president terms
*after four terms* of president Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D).
FDR was a great president, wasn't he? But somehow once was enough.
It is about mechanism of using power to stay in power, using *too much*.
<irony> I am ready to praise dynasty of Red Emperor Xi. </irony>

(born 7 October 1952) […]
He was reelected in 2004. Because he was constitutionally limited to
two consecutive terms as president, Putin served as prime minister
again from 2008 to 2012 under Dmitry Medvedev. He returned to the
presidency in 2012, […] was reelected in 2018. In April 2021, after a referendum, he signed into law constitutional amendments including one
that would allow him to run for reelection twice more, potentially
extending his presidency to 2036.[8][9]
