It has been an extraordinary week in Beijing where more than 2,200 members of the Communist Party of China, and its top leadership, gathered at the Great Hall of the People for the 19th Party Congress.
They heard from China’s President and Party General Secretary, Xi Jinping. The party reviewed its performance over the last five years and set ambitious goals for the future. And, it also elected new leaders.
