Understanding China’s 20th Communist Party Congress

New Zealand China Council Podcast

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China took place recently in Beijing. The pivotal five-yearly event in China’s political calendar drew global interest. But beyond the media headlines, what were the key outcomes of the Congress and how could these affect China’s policy directions and New Zealand’s future engagement with China? In this podcast, Jason Young, Associate Professor in the School of History, Philosophy, Political Science and International Relations at the Victoria University of Wellington, discusses these issues with our Council’s Executive Director Alistair Crozier.
