China's Communist Party began a four-day closed-door plenum in Beijing on Monday, with Party discipline expected to be a focus.
China's Communist Party leaders began a four-day closed-door meeting, known as a plenum, in Beijing on Monday. NPR says the gathering is taking place roughly a year before Xi Jinping is expected to win a fourth term. NPR also says personnel changes to key leadership bodies are expected around then.
The BBC describes the plenum as highly secretive and says it could see Xi "tighten discipline" in the Party. Al Jazeera says the talks center on Party discipline. NPR's headline says Xi is seeking stronger discipline.
Al Jazeera says the meeting is being watched for signs of the country's direction and future leadership.
None of the three outlets has reported any decisions from the meeting.
