More representative delegates

Competitive elections of delegates introduced for this coming national congress will help promote intra-Party democracy

In a highly conspicuous event coming before the start of 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, 2,270 delegates have been elected to represent the 80 million members of the Party at the approaching meeting, which is to be held in the latter half of this year.

According to the Party Constitution, the national congress is the most powerful organ in the CPC with the duties of choosing Party lines, principles, policies and theories, as well as electing leaders. As part of the country's work to build a well-off society in an all-round way, deepen the reform and opening-up of the country's economy and transform its model of economic development, the upcoming 18th National Congress of the CPC is expected to release important policies and measures that will guide the country's development in the next five years.
