Overview

  • State media said the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee will convene in Beijing from Oct. 20 to 23.
  • Leaders will review proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan covering 2026 to 2030 and set national economic and social priorities.
  • The Politburo heard feedback from inside and outside the Party and ordered revisions to the draft before submitting it to the plenum.
  • The guidance stresses Party leadership, a people-centered approach, and closer interplay between an efficient market and a well-functioning government.
  • The agenda is shaped by economic strains including a prolonged property-sector debt crisis, weak consumer demand, a 21% youth jobless rate in August, and slower factory and retail growth.
