A major four-day political meeting in China is due to begin in Beijing on Monday, with Xi Jinping potentially using the gathering to tighten discipline within the Party.
The Plenum is described as highly secretive, and the available details about its agenda are limited. Its proceedings are expected to focus on internal Party matters, with discipline identified as a possible area of attention under Xi.
The meeting will take place in Beijing and is scheduled to run for four days. Any move to strengthen internal discipline would indicate a continued focus on control and conduct within the Party, although the material available does not set out specific measures or decisions.
The outcome of the Plenum, including whether changes to Party discipline are announced, is expected to become clearer once the meeting begins and its conclusions emerge.
