The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, known as the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, was held at a luxury hotel in Beijing from 26 to 29 October. It is normally convened every 5 years, but the pace of meetings had slowed under the current administration.
This time, the agenda focused on tightening party discipline rather than economic policy, and the meeting was said to have set out a policy of strengthening the campaign to enforce party standards that General Secretary Xi Jinping had promoted. A Beijing correspondent’s analysis was reported.
