parties? 20th national congress began in november 2021. the parties central committee with comrade sees employing at its core. oh, as attached great importance to this work. general secretary, seizing pin presided over meetings of the political bureau and its standing committee to study related issues. drama, you shane, after deliberation there circular of the c. p. c. central committee concerning the election of delegates to the 20th national party congress was adopted. specifying the overall requirements and policies and rules for the election. beg, okay, during elections or electro, eunice acted in accordance with the central committees, arrangements and requirements. gin up held the party constitution as the fundamental guide is kept in mind. the parties nature and purpose sought john and ensured strong party leadership throughout the whole process of election till they gave full play to the role of democracy within the party. yes, applied rigorous criteria for candidate eligibility, followed due procedures observed a strict code of dis

but the early signs from the 20th party congress report is that the ideological are orientation back towards the party state and ideology that we saw in the 19th party congress that has been if you like, intensified in this congress report. so i'm not foreshadowing any policy you turned back to the market. so therefore, we're going to have a slower growth rate, natural growth rate for china. they may profit up through high levels of state investment that may continue to yield activity through net exports. but for private, fixed capital investment, private consumption, as well as private residential construction. i think we're all heading in a southerly direction. yang and economy is at the end of the day and the most basic thing and it's something that the party is very, very concerned with. now, with this congress, it doesn't look like it's on the political front, though. we're not seeing any relaxation at all. are we looks like he's doubling down on more attackers, see, and so on and so forth. i think if you look carefully of what the congress report says, it's quite clear that the

- communist party congress.ith the economy. this is a period of great domestic uncertainty china -- covid zero policies, the campaign to rein in debt in the property sector. the official target is 5.5%. this chart is looking at forecasts and we are now at 3.3%. a lot of it is down to those covid zero policies. we know beijing has no big plans to switch on that, so not expecting any sort of big announcements toward opening up. but investors are going to be listening for any clues on covid, which could whacked trading sentiment. -- whack trading sentiment. we have never seen a csi 300 performing so badly ahead of a cardica. the china index is at its lowest in more than five years and a 60% drop from the peak just five months ago. the other major concern is what support is offered for the property sector because efforts to far have not spurred any sentiment rebound. big deal for local governments as you can see that they are physical balances -- that their fiscal balances, they are spending their expenditure, in bl

party. and outside the congress party, i think congress party had become of gotten to a party that had been gripped by sexual practice imagination. and it had sort of remainder of very ready to be limited to completely fail to count off the, the, the cultural lashlin of all for the b g p. it had forgotten to do so it was only comfortable raising economic issues. and you can only ideas will be placed for the congress party, but it had forgotten to better social coalitions and cultural coalition. and kind of get coming in. but all, you know, signals are huge change because politics is about symbolic, and colgate signals that change to a huge community outside and as seniority commands respect inside the party, as well as outside the party. and congress at this point to 5 needs to better coalitions. 1 inside and outside and i think he's the most suited person to do so. so, i mean it's, i think it was a very, very, very good choice. and mr. powell is interesting that important, or it's not that the federal does not come on the constituency. an idea what was the power to do to n c is very limite

on the other hand, ew'r -- we're also looking for more explanations from the party congress. tween the party of growth and the growth rates to see where the balance is. if there is a pivot towards growth rates, then we might see more policy stimulus coming from officials. otherwise i think they are still going to press ahead reforms and that will be exchanged with short-term pain for long-term gains. yvonne: what else are you going to be looking for in terms of may be the political lineup? what is that going to tell us about policy moving forward? peiqian: i think for the upcoming party congress, president xi is widely expected to remain in power for at least the next five years. so the focus then will be the lineup of the standing committee for the dynamics of policy changes and that goes hand-in-hand with policy priority for the next five years. we are also going to scrutinize the report to see what other authorities are focused for the next five years to one decade good -- decade. yvonne: peiqian liu, thank you. we have live pictures from taiwan. taiwan's national day celeb

also on our show, beijing is focused on its party congress, but covert cases are rising in the background, raising fears of new lock downs. and planned by new zealand attacks, cow burps is giving farmers there in the junction. but there might just be another way to reduce harmful missions. hello and welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardsley in berlin. our oil producers, lending a hand to russia. that's the accusation from washington. after the saudi led oil cartel opec plus decided to slash oil production by $2000000.00 barrels a day. not helping matters, at least from the u. s. perspective was meeting tuesday between russian president vladimir putin and president of the united arab emirates chic mohammed bid zion and ion the white house has said that in response to the opec cuts, which it says will boost russian oil revenues. it is reevaluating its relationship with saudi arabia. re odd says the decision to cut production is based on market forces. right, more or less, let's go to mikhail crew to ken. he's an energy analyst and he joins us from oslo. macau, we've talked a lot about the o

party. he has the presidency, there's a lot of concern about him being removed in the last congress. not the key position. its general secretary of the party and he has to have internal support from this party. i don't see anything happening between now and next week, but certainly over time, xi is unable to maintain support over the party and legitimacy, his position could be undermined and he could be ultimately brought down. kathleen: with so much going on in the world,, coming out of covid, the power to make a move like that -- property prices. how big of a black eye is that? or do they figure it's necessary to stir that pot and the government helped create the crisis by putting focus on the indebtedness and causing bondholders all over china to start telling -- start selling bonds, etc. geoff: deleveraging has been underway for two years now. to a certain extent, amongst the leadership, there's an understanding that this excessively -- excessively leveraged sector needed to be deal leveraged. i don't think that by itself is an issue. but there's a confluence of issues that reall

parties. the congress parties and the other parties are shrinking. is challenges are that he needs to control that the congress starts winning election and then builds strong organization and then total reliance is, which can then take them on. >> you need to build an organization, a stronger organization for you to move forward and when the 2024 elections. but when you have a one-handed bgp with modi basically, constantly battering congress, what can he on his own do? >> before we get into that, i don't think that the director about the speakers of told is that he has been selected and elected because he represents the most oppressed section. now the fact that it's the elite, modi's assumptions are wrong. it's a member of congress -- parliament and he has been there in the last 15 years. it's the most oppressed placed. and he's definitely most battered at heart, but he understands his party and he's also receptive of the scenes we all want to embark on. we should not look so cold on papers. >> i have three other issues to cover with our other guests.

it was in excess of three hours in 2017 at the opening of the party congress. this time it was just under two hours, but he touched on the hot button issues but didn't really get into many specifics. if investors are waking up this monday morning weathering -- wondering whether he gave a roadmap out of covid zero policies, you will be disappointed. others say perhaps the fact that he didn't harp on the negatives and the need for further lockdowns and the specifics of that gives room for the party and xi jinping to perhaps relax going forward. if you gave any hard criteria to relax, perhaps he would be bound by that. that is, in a way, good news, if you are concerned by the continuing economic dampening effect of covid zero. he did touch on a lot of ideological main points of his rule so far the past decade. he referred to marxism more than markets. common prosperity more than property woes. he did not even mention the property market. it was not too surprising, given that is a negative aspects. but again, he has a firm hand on the tiller. he talked a lot about

the communist party of china begins. it's major congress this weekend. that's all but certain to hand, she keeping a 3rd 5 year term. it's moved that puts him on the path to becoming leader for life, for better or worse, richer or poorer? because china, under she has had its share of milestones and challenges. as dw clifford conan reports, huge in pings, political journey has been epic from political exile during the upheavals of the cultural revolution to becoming the most powerful chinese leader since miles at dawn in the 19 seventy's. china has been transformed since the mouth era, from a poor, inward looking country into a global superpower and the world's 2nd largest economy. unless, believe she goes into the congress in a strong position, i was appointment for a 3rd term as party chief. give some more political muscle, eating nauseous, each and baggage they don't go there. in the past, the party congress and china was similar to elections in the west. they found that there were many factions, many struggles on many disagreements of those. and this

at the communist party congress dressing delegates, president teaching pin, says he will not rule out the use of force in taiwan. ah, i'm anthony. how'd welcome to the program. officials in iran say for inmates a did after a night of classes that even prison entitled the victims allegedly died of smoke, inhalation during a fire, dozens of said to be injured. hundreds of anti government demonstrate has been detained in the prison. iranian officials have denied a link to the protests that had swept the country for weeks. ah, flames illuminate the night sky on the outskirts of terror on even prison, infamous for holding political prisoners is ablaze. gunshots and loud bangs could be heard. ali my city, gulf iranian stay. tv broadcast, images of the prisons gutted interior adherents. governor claims the inmates for the destruction almost in had it let the daddy's f i a was caused by a fight between prisoners. in his sewing workshop, how yoshi, a workshop was set up to create jobs for prisoners. so at the for further even present holds many of those recently arrested for protesting. iran h

what's the main message sent from the party congress been so far? yeah, the main message is clear, sheeting pink's power remains unchallenged and he will continue with his political path. that includes and the china will stick to its dressed is 0 cobra policy. despite the weak performance of the economy recently and also despite the growing frustration among the population also. and we know that the next years will be also dominated by ideology, by political control. and in general, by an emphasis on national security and security in general. what also i found remarkable as it sheeting ping in his opening speech of the am a particle wrist did not talk so much about economy growth, but rather about marxism about and yet more ideological terms like what was interesting is also that he didn't mentioned most of the really am severe problems that people are facing, economic progress also, and the suffering of people under locked on the real estate prices and also the record. hi am you've unemployed. so it doesn't really sound like there's going to be any

this is part of the whole process of this party congress. and then in the coming days, there will be a major profound re shopping of the top leadership roles within the communist party in the central committee of the blue bureau. as well as the standing committee of the blue color bureau, i would say, as a result of the twenty's party congress, the communist party of china will be more united than ever before in recent memory . and the new central committee and the police bureau understanding too much of the believe bureau will be a really, really dedicated c, b c to greater reform and opening to the outside world. because the coming 5 years will be crucial for china in terms of the growing size of china's economy, in terms of the growing impact of china as a country on the global stage. and also what child needs to do to stand the head we caused by the united states that particular and how to navigate through very great difficulties and challenges in china's general relations with the west blanche. all these are important things to be thrash

congress in a strong position. and his appointment for a 3rd term is party chief, gives him more political muscle. they say the makeup of congress has also changed in his favor. ah, but there were many factions, many struggles on many disagreements with olds, and this is likely going to be the 1st one without fractional struggles since the establishment of the communist party of china. which means that she, jim ping, has taken control of everything. oh, she did, we didn't on corner each here. she has taken a hard line approach to china's relations with the west, particularly over self ruled taiwan. she wants tie one to revert to beijing's role by 2049. the st. henry of the foundation of the people's republic, he's not ruled out taking the island by force. his reluctance to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine has antagonized the west and his efforts to grab territory in the south. china sea have angered china's neighbors. relations with the united states, or at their lowest ebb for years. while tensions between the e you and china could escalate. if she strengthens his commitment to a confrontation

i was there for the past two party congresses.emember what he did in 2012 essentially as soon as he became the leader in 2013, he launched an anti-corruption campaign. some would say that that was more of a way to get rid of his political opponents paving the way for what we have today. his ability to stack the standing committee with his loyalist and be able to rule indefinitely. where he takes the country from here is the big question. whether in a different situation with china than just five years ago when he stood there at the party congress and said china will stand all the and firm in the east. well, in the last five years, so much as changed. the relationship with the united states is fraught with all kinds of issues. covid, the pandemic. the property crackdown, the platform economy crackdown, chips, obviously. so he had some splaining to do on sunday. [laughter] >> eric, i've got to ask one question on party congress is there anything on the ecofront that you're looking for that might be able to restore confidence? >> we

throughout the green party, norman government also has to deal with the issue directly, has to decide how to handle rushes, aggression, and how to deal with the energy crisis. but the congress also showed that the party has moved away from its more idealistic positions of the past, and is now strongly anchored in reality. it's a party that decided to support the government's decision to extend the life of to nuclear power plants despite its history being rooted in the anti nuclear movement . it's a. 1 party that decided to support the decision to send heavy weapons to ukraine despite its longstanding policy of not sending arms to conflict areas. now these decisions weren't made with our internal debate and discussion, but the party is united. it is also a new and different party. it's membership has doubled in the last 5 years and many of those new members or young people who are not so strictly attached to the values of the greens during their founding era. 40 years ago, juliessa delita welsh, honestly, decision ping has opened. the weeklong 20th communist party congress in budging by saint john will never renounced the brought to use force of a ty, one he called for accel
