Indefinitely

Indefinitely

Welcome to the Voice of America’s New Words.

China’s National People’s Congress voted in March to end a two-term limit on the presidency.

The vote sets up a path for president Xi Jinping to rule indefinitely.

Xi’s current term ends in 2023 but experts say it is expected he will continue beyond that as the country’s president.

Indefinitely is for a period of time without a clear end.

If a situation will continue indefinitely, it will continue until someone decides to change it or end it.
