China has commenced preparations for the 21st National Congress of the Communist Party, where Xi Jinping is expected to secure a fourth term. The number of delegates attending the congress has been set at 2,360, and the election process has begun.
According to a report by the state-run Xinhua News Agency on November 7, the Central Committee of the Communist Party recently issued a notice regarding the delegate election process, confirming the total number of delegates.
The Central Committee emphasized that the 21st Congress is a significant political event for the party and the nation, occurring at a crucial time for the realization of socialist modernization and the pursuit of the second centenary goal.
The election process will involve a strengthened review of political qualifications. The aim is to select individuals who faithfully adhere to the party constitution and exemplify the values of party membership.
Candidates will be evaluated based on their political stance, awareness, judgment, and execution capabilities. The principle of 'single vote disqualification' will be applied, meaning politically unqualified candidates will be eliminated regardless of other evaluation results.
The delegate elections began today and are expected to conclude by the end of June next year. The 21st Congress, scheduled for next year, is anticipated to confirm Xi's fourth term.
