party congresses are quinnquennial. five years ago before the last party congress, i invited two people to talk about what they thought were going to happen. we'll have another reprise of that effort in a few minutes. we'll have a 15 minute break. please take advantage of the restrooms and refreshments. and please join us in thanking our presenters today. [ applause ]

it was just after the 18th party congress that the bowling pins began to fall,. [inaudible] was the first one and use major party deputy and obviously an associate of. [inaudible] and raises questions about th the -- he must've said they were coming for me and it's two years to go up that trail to go up to. [inaudible] and there's nothing we can do about it. fascinating that he had to sit there and wait for the trail of evidence to pile up and get him. this is one major crisis and actually i think for china leadership monitor was tracing the factionalism in. [inaudible] province where. [inaudible] was from and it became very obvious that you have these tight networks of power and money and occasionally based and it was where. [inaudible] was from, promoted people and you have these, what? stovepipes of power relations there and became quite obvious what the central government and it was not just xi jinping but the previous government would send in -- and there is nothing they could do. it's so tightly controlled and it's so tight that you can't stick with it. [ina

now, i think regarding military policies in particular the 19th party congress will probably reiterate the 18th congress about chinese' military, military modernization where it said a strong national defense and powerful armed forces are needed that are commensurate with china's international standing and meet the needs of its security development interest and that the chinese military takes a more active role in political and security fields. this idea of china's greater more -- more moretory, and cyberspace security which has occurred in past party congress. the reference to cyberspace was unprecedented in the 18th congress work report and also space in the context of security. of course, i think there will be a reputation of the concept, the objective that china should continue to build itself into a maritime power. finally, although no details are provided in party congress statements, it might offer individual references to specific policy initiatives associated with these objectives. and one road, i think, for sure will appear. the improving relationship with he periphery countr

this was prompted really for or highlighted in the first party congress and it came about because of libya and syria with outside powers. this might not be as prominent in this party because you haven't had as many new examples of this unless you talk about the possibility and the fear of us-led intervention in north korea. t isi doubt that would be likely tohe be mentioned or cause because it's usually occurred after development. it is possible, i suppose. now, in addition to these concerns that we've seen before, bot both positive and negative, i think they will alsom highlight more recent potential threats to what it sees as peace and growing stability, growth in the international system. that will be this idea of growing imbalances in economic development and more importantly, what is seen as the troubling backlash against greater global integration and the forces of globalization but this is a a theme that has been struck by chinese leaders in recent years that has become increasingly prominent. in beijing, they will likely present themselves as a strong opponent of a trend towar

and who paid all that much attention to the 15th party congress? the big news of course was that tao was elevated to the successor position and that was kind of it. as far as the big news of that congress. it didn't draw that sort of attention, and if you look at the 17th party congress, 2007, that was a little bit more interesting. xi jinping and lee were elevated to the standing committee, and that set the tone for that -- the succession. this is i think drawing a whole lot more attention than either the 15th or the 17th party congresses did, and it's really because xi jinping seems to be something of a different animal. he has been shaking up the political system in china. i wanted to say in unprecedented ways but alice would say, but that happened in 1934. at any case, he has been shaking up the political system. he's been setting new tones can new themes, think, and the anticorruption campaign, it's 150 so-called tigers which are defined as vice ministerial level and above. now, there might be, what, 2,000, 2500, people at that rank? so if you

and the idea about reforming global government which has also been a theme in past party congress

that was first down in 2002 in the report to the 16th party congress. it was strongly reaffirmed to the 17th congress in 2007 and again in 2012 at the 18th congress. and it's laid out a set of guidelines and policies that were reaffirmed across the three successive party congresses that framed the policy agenda of each of in each of those terms of leadership under hu jintao and xi jinping. i strongly suspect congress will reaffirm this 2020 goal. we'll see the new push of the terms laid out in 2013, perhaps new. and xi jinping's july 26th speech to the central party school was around this fundamental goal. it also leads to this third period in prc history that joe was just mentioning and that is to say this 2020 goal will be completed under xi jinping's leadership. i'm assuming he'll be reappointed as general secretary. and they're already thinking about laying out the guidelines for the second goal that was enunciated in 2002 and that's the 2049 goal. the sen tenry of the people's republic. i expect a strong affirm medication of the people's agenda, ach

his preferred politics on display at the party congress in beijing, a men's club where conformity is nd power is top—down, not bottom—up. the party says it encourages women but there's only one who stands alongside him, a first lady who once had her own career but now embodies traditional wifely virtues. for leilei, the pink hair and protest days are over. elsewhere, the world's becoming more aware of the scale of sexual harassment but here in china, it has been dismissed by some as a western problem. the communist party's new era gives them nothing to cheer. before xi jinping, guangzhou was a magnet notjust for feminists but lawyers, labour activists and brave reporters. like so many of them, leilei now plans to leave china. it's really often for me to feel frustrated, maybe devastated. maybe sometimes i just thought that i could take a break but feminism is the cause of my life. i have to do this. the only safe place to raise their voice in public. but not to sing their own tune. their stark choice, leave china, shut up or go to jail. carrie gracie, bbc news, guangzhou. our other to

the party congress is something people are keeping an eye on.o these leveraged bets play a role in all this? , there have been few catalysts in terms of trading. we did have the government a catastrophic collapse and asset prices after excessive optimism. hen it comes to the ll and their contracts, it is a straightforward way to bet on the market. you bet the same hang seng will rise and leverage up to do it. if it does it, you are rewarded handsomely. if not, you can lose all your money. a lot of contracts had clustered around that level and people took advantage of the plunge to kill the bulls. it was enough to ruin those who have those particular bets. haidi: what about the team doing buying and selling? >> in the hong kong market? across both markets. we heard reports leading to the congress that there have been some participation to maintain stability. been rumors.e have it is commonplace for them to intervene in the mainland markets, but we know there are strict rules in terms of making sure they stabilize the market. we did see earlier in

i think very little happens at a party congress openly. have probably already happened. i think what he will do openly and what he will be seen to be traded tackling is the issue of poverty. that is a big and safe problem. there are still many people in china who are like poor and he would to change that. i think we will have talks about improving the environment and, perhaps, subtle things about improving china's international security environment. i don't think we will get any sort of frank talk about some of the real problem that china faces. he may pay lip service to fighting corruption in the party but i don't think there will be any consideration or conversation about the future of 1—party rule in china. conversation about the future of 1-party rule in china. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. while we hear very much forjoining us here on bbc news. while we hear dashmac very much forjoining us here on bbc news. while we while we hear a lot about north korea's leader, kimjong—un, and his ongoing rows with the global c

you on the day you just wrote a piece at cato on international relations at china's communist party congress which is taking place and that caught my attention i mean at that party china's president sounded very bow ready to be in charge of a new superpower but china has said that it will not get involved with me and more and there were hints of crisis that is not what we expect to hear from a superpower whenever refugee crisis is unfolding on its back doorstep is. no it isn't and i think that in terms of the party congress and like i said in that piece sitting in supporter remember that when she jinping is at the congress and when the communist party is having it it is primarily directed at internal issues within china especially economic development military reform those sorts of things so international relations doesn't really play heavily in general but i think in terms of xi jinping calling for a greater role for china to play internationally if china wants to come up in the sort of international order that the united states has. established then yes you would expect to see it do more s

china just had their 199 party congress. we saw a leader over there consolidate his own power, put his own people, did not put, nominate a successor suggesting he may win another term after this next five year term. but you once said, and will you have to remind me exactly what it was. i would like to be head of china for four days. >> right. >> rose: why did you say that. >> that was in the previous book. it was a chapter in the book where i would just like to be china for a day. >> rose: because. >> because our democracy is not working and therefore we have so paralyzed because we are so, i'm going to-- par tannized, triballized and divided that we can't do anything big and hard. everything we need to do is big and hard, health care, tax reform, infrastructure. and big hard things can only be done together. and so what i said in the book is i don't really want to be china for a day, i would like to do what china does democratically, the way china does it auto gratically but the fact is they are getting stuff done. and how

i think china is holding its breath for the upcoming 19th party congress.g and the meeting will start very soon. i think it is a major event for the president to consolidate his control over the party of the government and over the party of the government and over the party of the government and over the military. this is unprecedented in recent decades. i think the general expectation is that there will be new amendments written into the party constitution and president xi jinping written into the party constitution and president xijinping will emerge at the end of this party congress as at the end of this party congress as a stronger lead up with more consolidated power. most likely there will be indications that he will serve more than in an terms in the future. do you think that he should serve longer than two terms as set forth in the constitution? that would be basically following in the footsteps of your former boss, deng xiaoping and mao zedong. indeed. i think the general indication among the party leaders seems to be that china will need a stronge
