Now, he is trying to change that law.

That is causing some people to be concerned that he may try to become a "dictator" and retain power for many years.

The issue is about China's "term limits" for its president. In other words, one person can only be president for a certain length of time--in this case, 10 years (two terms of five years each).

Xi Jinping became president in 2012. His term would end in 2023, although he could choose to continue on in another high-level job in the government. But he appears to have decided that he would rather remove term limits altogether, which means that he could choose to be president for the rest of his life.

China’s education initiative is designed to spark kids’ interest in space exploration.

The astronauts will also conduct dozens of experiments while they are in space.
