China in the Third Era of Xi Jinping

At the 20th Party Congress in October 2022, and at the recent meeting of the National People’s Congress, Xi Jinping was re-elected as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and as President of the PRC. At both meetings, new leaders were elected to top positions in Party and government, and important new economic and political policy directions were laid out. In addition, major institutional restructuring took place, transferring even more functions and responsibilities from the state to the Party.

What is the goal of this centralization of power in the CCP and what does it mean for policymaking and governance in the economic and political arena? These issues will be discussed at a seminar arranged by members of the politics group affiliated with the EU Horizon project “China Horizons - Dealing with a Resurgent China”.
