The much-anticipated fourth plenum could also offer clues about new faces on Communist Party’s Central Committee
China’s ruling Communist Party has scheduled a key annual conclave for October, with a main focus on deliberating the next five-year plan for the country’s economic, political and social goals amid continued tension with the United States.
The announcement came after a meeting of the Politburo on Wednesday that set the tone for the coming fourth plenary session to be attended by more than 370 Central Committee members of the party elite.
The much-anticipated plenum will be held in Beijing, according to state news agency Xinhua.
The exact dates of the event have not been made public, but practice over the past decade suggests the event is likely to land in the second half of October and last four days.
