Please join the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub and Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Freeman Chair in China Studies on Wednesday, June 1, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET for a virtual panel discussion about what is known, and unknown, about how much power Xi Jinping now has in China’s political system.

Speculation about Xi’s hold on power is mounting as policy failures become more evident ahead of the 20th Party Congress. This panel of experts with deep knowledge of China’s political landscape will work to dispel misconceptions and provide evidence-based analysis of likely trajectories for Xi’s political control and policy agenda in the months ahead.
