The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (commonly referred to as Shíjiǔ Dà; Chinese: 十九大) opened in Beijing, China on 18 October 2017. As an "odd-year" congress – the previous was held in 2012 – the congress is closely watched mostly due to a far-reaching change in the makeup of the top leadership of the Communist Party of China. Almost 75% of the Politburo Standing Committee (top decision-making body) is expected to retire or be replaced at this congress. The congress is also seen as a test of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s authority within the party and whether he will break party rules regarding political tenure and promotion.
The party delegates at the congress will elect the new leadership of the Communist Party of China by the elite, including the Central Committee and alternate members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. During the meeting of new Central Committee, the elections of General Secretary (party leader), Politburo, Politburo Standing Committee and Central Military Commission will be held.
The Congress will enshrine the "Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" to the party constitution as a guiding ideology.
