Political commentator and author Thomas Friedman spoke with analyst Cheng Li about China’s upcoming Party Congress, which is likely to end with President Xi Jinping getting a third five-year term. Mr. Li discussed the internal politics involved in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and said the majority of top leadership positions would be filled by President Xi’s protégés. They also talked about the China’s future role in global relations, particularly in regard to Taiwan, Russia, and the United States. The CCP’s 20th Party Congress was happening on Sunday, October 16, 2022, with about 2,300 party members at the Great Hall of the People on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square; it occurs every five years and typically lasts about one week. close
