On October 19, the Asia Society Policy Institute released a report stating that the Chinese Communist Party's 20th Central Committee Fifth Plenary Session will be held in Beijing from October 26 to 29, with the core agenda being the adoption of the "Decision on Several Major Issues Concerning the Continued Comprehensive Strict Governance of the Party." The report said that in 2025, 118,000 officials were disciplined over formalism and bureaucratism; of the original 24 Politburo members, 3 have already been purged; among the original 44 full members of the PLA's Central Committee, only Zhang Shengmin and Dong Jun remain untouched. The attendance rate at this plenary session is expected to be about 77%, which would set the lowest record since the reform and opening up.
