Editor’s note for Monday, November 16, 2020
A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.
My thoughts today:
Willy Wo-Lap Lam* is a veteran observerย of the goings on in the Chinese leadership compound Zhongnanhai. His takeaway about Xรญ Jรฌnpรญng ไน ่ฟๅนณย from Octoberโs Fifth Plenary Sessionย of the Chinese Communist Partyโs Central Committee is something that Iโve been saying since 2013, and that my colleague Lucas noted in our report on this years plenum: Xi Jinping intends to stick around for a very long time. ย
Strong signals were also sent that the Central Committee โ comprised of 198 full and 166 alternate members โ supported the 67-year-old supreme leaderโs desire to continue exercising power for an additional ten years or more.
