  "summary": "China's ruling Communist Party will convene a top-level meeting in October, according to state media. The fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee will take place from October 26 to 29 in Beijing, as announced by Xinhua on September 21. This annual gathering, chaired by President Xi Jinping, typically reaffirms the party's key policy objectives and will likely be one of the final meetings before the next party congress in autumn 2027, where Xi is expected to secure a fourth term as leader. The previous session, held in October 2025, focused on the economy and China's 15th Five-Year Plan for development.",
