Where is China’s political and economic policy heading after the Fourth Plenum? How will the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan shape Beijing’s domestic and international priorities? What do recent high-level personnel changes signal about the future of governance in China? As the 20th Central Committee convenes for its annual meeting in Beijing, uncertainty remains over the country’s turn toward consumption-led growth, the productivity of new innovative forces, and internal leadership dynamics.

On Monday, November 3, join the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings for a public event reviewing the outcomes of the Fourth Plenum and assessing their significance for Beijing’s economic future. Panelists will offer insights on what the 15th Five-Year Plan reveals about the China’s developmental policy agenda, fiscal capacity, and structural macroeconomic issues.
