This is CPC National Congress (I)BEIJING, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report by China.org.cn on the election of China's top leadership: The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) opened on Oct. 18. This is undoubtedly the country's most important political event of the year. As some foreign media reports have noted, it's rare to see an event arouse such widespread attention when only its schedule is announced. So what is the Congress? Why has it attracted such great attention? The CPC is the ruling party of China. It convenes a national congress every five years. The most eye-catching event is surely the election, as China's top leadership will be chosen after the Congress. How does the election take place? To become a top leader of the CPC, first of all, one must have rich governance experience at the local level. For instance, he or she may have governed a province with tens of millions of residents. Additionally, the potential candidate needs to have worked in central leading bodies, because it will enable him or her to know how the top leadership makes decisions collectively. Then, the potential candidate has to go through several rounds of recommendation, evaluation and selection, and finally be determined as eligible to stand for election. Who has the right to cast a vote? Party delegates have this right. Take the 19th CPC National Congress for instance. The 2,287 delegates come from 40 electoral units, such as provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, the financial sector, the enterprise secto and departments of the central government. The delegates have all demonstrated outstanding performance in undertakings such as China's reform and development, scientific and technological innovation, and poverty reduction. They serve to represent all Party members from around the country. During the Congress, the delegates will elect the CPC Central Committee, which is the core organization of the Party. After the Congress, the Committee will hold a plenary session, and elect the Party's top leaders. Thanks to this process, China can select out prominent leaders with strong abilities and rich experience who are welcomed by the common people. The CPC's top leadership is a group in which no one acts alone and state power is wielded collectively. Despite being responsible for work in different sectors, they make decisions as a united whole. This collective leadership is recognized as an important characteristic of the CPC.
