Various state-run media in China reported that Chinese leader Xi Jinping focused on socialism with Chinese characteristics, governance capability, and modernization of the state governance system at the Party’s ongoing 4-day political meeting that began on Oct. 28 in Beijing. However, a source close to top Chinese officials revealed that those were not the key issues discussed at the meeting, and Chinese media are trying to divert public attention from the crisis China is facing.

The fourth plenary session of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 19th Central Committee should have been held a year ago.
