The Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has announced that the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee will be held in Beijing from October 20 to 23.

According to an official statement, the draft is intended to reflect current economic and social challenges and provide a strategic framework for the next stage of China's modernisation.
The meeting was described as a "key mobilisation" to maintain the momentum of economic growth and social stability. After incorporating comments, the document is to be submitted for adoption at the October plenary, which will be one of the most important political moments of the year.
