China’s Communist Party (CCP) congress will begin on October 16, the party’s political bureau announced today and state broadcaster CCTV broadcast, a decisive gathering where President Xi Jinping is expected to secure a third term as party chief and so and the country.
Unexpectedly, the 69-year-old Xi is expected to be re-elected as the party’s general secretary for a third term, the first since a constitutional amendment.
The conference usually lasts about a week and is held mostly behind closed doors in the Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square in central Beijing.
The CCP’s 20th congress since its founding in 1921 is also expected to begin a major reshuffle of the Politburo Standing Committee, the seven-member powerful body that actually exercises power in China.
The General Assembly announced the opening date of the normally week-long conference held behind closed doors at the Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square in central Beijing.
According to an unwritten tradition, a portion of the current members of the office reach an age where they retire.
Consisting of 2,300 delegates, the CCP general assembly will be held “at a critical moment where the entire party and all ethnic groups in the country are committed to a new journey to build a modern socialist country,” CCTV underlined.
At the previous congress, held in 2017, Xi managed to insert his “thought” into the party’s founding documents.
A few months later, the Constitution was amended to abolish the two-term presidential term limit. Xi Jinping can theoretically be president of the People’s Republic for life.
