The CCP’s 20th Party Congress: What to Expect and the Implications for Washington

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is gearing up for its most important political event of the decade. Sometime in the second half of 2022, China’s most senior leaders will assemble at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People for the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, in which General Secretary Xi Jinping is expected to stay in office for a precedent-breaking third term. Maneuvering ahead of the event will dominate political life in China throughout 2022, and the outcomes of the congress will determine the country’s trajectory for years to come. 

Join us for a timely discussion about what to expect at the Party Congress, how it will influence China’s political course, and what it will mean for policymakers in Washington and other capitals as they grapple with the China challenge.
