Discover key details on China's ruling Communist Party holding a closed-door Central Committee plenum in Beijing from October 26 to 29 to shape policy.
POLICY WIRE — Beijing, China — China’s ruling Communist Party is set to convene its elite Central Committee for a closed-door gathering in Beijing running from Monday through Thursday, according to state media reports.
The high-level political meeting, officially scheduled from October 26 to 29, will establish the broader political tone and strategic priorities for the leadership.
According to announcements carried by the state-run Xinhua News Agency, the upcoming plenary session centers heavily on party discipline and self-governance as the nation advances its modernization agenda.
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China previously set these exact dates during a meeting in Beijing on September 21, where leaders also addressed internal military discipline.
During that same September gathering in Beijing, top officials voted to expel the most senior uniformed officer in the armed forces from both the party and the military.
This upcoming fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee arrives as observers look for deeper clues regarding Beijing’s long-term policy trajectory.
