The Third Plenary Sessions of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party have historically been pivotal moments for China's economic reforms. From the landmark "Reform and Opening up" policy in 1978 to recent efforts to modernize governance, these sessions have shaped the nation's economic trajectory. The upcoming Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee will be held in Beijing from July 15-18, 2024. President Xi Jinping is set to outline key reforms for the next decade, focusing on deepening reforms and advancing Chinese modernization. The session is expected to emphasise "new quality productive forces," aiming to enhance science and technology, high-end manufacturing, green economy transformation, and national security amid an increasingly complex international environment.
