China's president has been named 2018 World's Most Powerful Person ahead of Putin and Trump. See full list



Well, for what he was able to pull off this year, China's president, Xi Jinping sure deserves the number spot. In March, 2018, China’s congress amended its
constitution in March, eliminating term limits and broadening Xi’s influence.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (No. 2) has been knocked out of the top spot, a title that he held for four consecutive years. A little over one year into his term, President Donald Trump falls to the No. 3 spot.
