The Sixth Plenum of the 19^th Party Congress, which takes place from the 8^th to the 11^th November, has been touted as a landmark meeting by experts and media outlets alike. In particular, the Chinese leadership is expected to produce its third resolution on history since 1945 that will likely set a new course of the Party’s ideology in the coming years that will probably consolidate key initiatives already announced like Dual Circulation, Common Prosperity and decarbonisation.

Given the momentous nature of this meeting, the EU SME Centre and the European Chamber are thus pleased to invite you to join our next Policy Meeting, where Mr David Kelly, Research Director at China Policy, and Mr Long Chen, Co-founder and Partner at Plenum, will provide their perspectives on the outcomes of the Sixth Plenum. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 16^th November 2021 from 14:30 to 16:00 at the Hilton Beijing Signature Ballroom A.
