Description

On March 5, China’s Eleventh National People’s Congress will convene its fifth and last annual plenary session, before the Twelfth Congress begins its term next year. In the autumn, the 18th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party will convene in Beijing, at which a new group will assume leadership. Three U of T professors offer insights on recent developments and ongoing issues in Chinese politics, society, and economy as the country prepares for leadership succession.
