Goals will look beyond 5 years

Held at a key juncture ahead of China's two centenary goals, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will play a vital role in mapping out guidelines for the coming decades and singling out the Party's key tasks, analysts said.

By 2020, China will complete building a moderately prosperous society. By the middle of this century, China should become a modern socialist country that is "prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious."

The CPC Central Committee raised the two centenary goals at the Party's 18th National Congress held in November 2012.
