Political report
A political report (Chinese: 政治报告; pinyin: Zhèngzhì bàogào) is a type of political document of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is delivered by the CCP General Secretary to the CCP National Congress at the opening of the meeting.
According to the Center for Strategic Translation, the political report "recapitulates the victories and setbacks the Party experienced over the previous five years, announces changes in the Party’s ideological line, and establishes the goals intended to guide all party and state activity in the years to come".[1] The political report is the most authoritative document in China's political system, and its drafting often lasts a year. It is drafted by a drafting group, which is often led by the person on track to be the next General Secretary. During the drafting process, hundreds of cadres provide feedback on the sections of the political report relevant to their responsibilities.[1]
