CBN丨Explainer: all you need know to about the CPC sixth plenary session, and what makes it important

The 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) started its sixth plenary session in Beijing on Monday, which is scheduled to last until Thursday. More than 370 full and alternate members of the Central Committee, the party’s highest governing body, gathered in Beijing for the plenum ahead of next year’s National Congress, when a major leadership reshuffle is expected. Why are the plenums important? The plenums are a key venue for the party to display unity among the party leadership and indicate the direction of key policies. The current 19th Central Committee was elected in 2017 and will sit until next year’s National Congress, when a new committee will be appointed. At this week’s meeting, Xi will be the third-ever party leader to unveil a historical resolution at the sixth plenum, which will focus on the “major achievements and historical experiences” of the party throughout its 100-year history.
