BEIJING - The elite Central Committee of China’s ruling Communist Party will hold a closed-door meeting from Monday to Thursday to set the major policies for the year ahead and beyond, and probably discuss crises ranging from Hong Kong to the trade war with Washington.
Formally, the plenum is to discuss improving governance and “perfecting” the country’s socialist system, but during the four days of talks other topics are bound to be raised as well.The meeting is the fourth time that China’s roughly 370-person Central Committee has gathered since the 2017 party congress, which ushered in President Xi Jinping’s second five-year term in office as party and military chief.
To prevent leaks, plenum attendees are traditionally confined to the venue for the duration of the meeting. On the day the plenum ends, the official Xinhua news agency will issue a long dispatch with details of what was agreed to. To portray party unity, there will be no mention of any disagreements.There has been an unusually long gap since the last plenum in February 2018. They normally happen in the autumn, but one did not take place then last year amid speculation about disagreement over policy among the senior leadership.
