- Story Text:Hundreds of media professionals attended two events on Wednesday (October 12) held ahead of the 20th National Congress of China's ruling Communist Party (CCP).
An exhibition was held at the Beijing Exhibition Center to showcase China’s achievements under President Xi Jinping’s leadership. On the same day, the media centre for the congress was inaugurated at a hotel.
The events were mostly attended by reporters from state-run media outlets, with a small number of reporters from foreign media arriving on organised tours.
The congress will begin on October 16, in which the country's constitution will be amended amid a leadership reshuffle. Xi is also widely expected to break with precedent and secure a third five-year leadership term.
