CNA938 Rewind - What to expect from China’s fourth plenum
Scheduled from Oct 20 to 23, the fourth plenum will see the upper echelons of China’s Communist Party review and endorse the next chapter of its national development blueprint, while potentially bringing clarity on the fate of sidelined senior officials. The centrepiece of the key political gathering being the next five-year plan that lays out the country’s social and development priorities for the rest of the decade. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman look at how the plenum will shape Beijing’s next moves, especially against the backdrop of ongoing trade and tech war with Washington with Dr Lim Tai Wei, East Asian expert and Professor at Soka University of Japan.
