Editor’s Note for Tuesday, August 30, 2022
A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.
My thoughts today:
The Communist Party has finally announced the date of its quinquennial congress, which will set the tone and the leadership lineup for the next five years.
Aside from a few believers of Beijing gossip, all are preparing to be unsurprised that the Chairman of Everything, Xí Jìnpíng 习近平, will emerge from the congress even more powerful than he is now.
And so our word of the day is, naturally:
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held in Beijing on October 16
中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会10月16日在北京召开
