Starting on 16 October 2022, the Chinese Communist Party will hold its 20th National Congress. At this pivotal meeting, Xi Jinping is expected to secure an unprecedented third term as state president, allowing him to stay on as paramount leader of the Party, the government, and the military. In addition to cementing Xi’s personal power, the Party Congress also marks a new stage in terms of consolidating Party ideology and control. Furthermore, it will offer clues on how the leadership intends to tackle the unparalleled conjunction of domestic and international challenges in the years ahead. In this GIGA Forum, experts will offer their interpretations of this watershed event, discuss its political and economic implications, and assess the prospects for the country’s further global ascent.
