Iran Press/ Asia: Nearly 3,000 members of China's parliament, the National People's Congress (NPC), voted unanimously in the Great Hall of the People for Xi to be president in an election where there was no other candidate.
Xi, 69, also received unanimous votes for a third term as chairman of the country's Central Military Commission.
Zhao Leji, 66, was elected as the new parliament chair, and Han Zheng, 68, as the new vice president. Both men were from Xi's previous team of party leaders at the Politburo Standing Committee.
The stage was set for Xi's new five-year run after a change to the constitution in 2018 that scrapped term limits.
