This week, China's Communist Party Congress is expected to approve a historic third term in office for the country's leader, Xi Jinping.
Xi has already been in power for a decade, a period marked by growing authoritarianism in China. Many experts believe he could emerge a more emboldened leader in his new term.
Ailsa Chang speaks with Yun Sun, director of the China Program at the Stimson Center, about the global implications of a third term for Xi Jinping and how this signals a new era for China. And NPR's Emily Feng reports on how little we know about the way China's Communist Party Congress makes its decisions.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
