Chinese national leader Xi Jinping
The Fifth Plenary Session of the XIX Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which closed last week, did not prepare for Chinese leaders to follow up on anything, and along with the “Five-Year Plan”, it rarely launched a project aimed at the next 15 years, that is, the “Vision Goal for 2035”. Outsiders worry about the strengthening of personal power by leader Xi Jinping.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee announced that Xi Jinping will place “innovation” at the center of China’s modernization, and this plan aims to use domestic consumption and technological self-sufficiency to develop China. At the same time, it emphasizes “training troops to prepare for war” and “basically realizing socialist modernization” in 2035.
Xi Jinping, 67, will complete his second term in 2022. The content of this plenary session foreshadows his strategic goals for ruling in the third term.

From the highly anticipated “largest IPO in history” to “interviewees,” “trading suspended” and “new regulatory regulations,” in just a few days, China’s largest online finance company, Ant Group, experienced the pain of fall from a height.
On November 2, China’s four major regulatory agencies collectively interviewed Ant Group executives, including Jack Ma. On November 3, the Shanghai Stock Exchange announced its decision to suspend the listing of Ant Group. Ant later said that trading in Hong Kong was also suspended.
Some analysts believe that during the suspension of the listing, Ant must think and adjust its business model to comply with the new regulatory requirements and finally go public, and this adjustment will surely affect its valuation.

A well-known journalist from the Hong Kong Public Radio Station (RTHK) was arrested and prosecuted for a report on “Incident 721” during the 2019 “anti-broadcast” rally. Several Hong Kong journalists’ unions criticized the police for suppressing media coverage.
The detainee was Cai Yuling, editor and director of the famous 40-year current affairs program “The Clang Collection” of the Hong Kong Radio Television Department, and president of the Radio Hong Kong union. After she was allowed out on bail late on Tuesday night (November 3), she confirmed that she had been charged and that the case was related to the report.
Hong Kong Police confirmed to BBC China that police arrested a 37-year-old woman surnamed Cai that day, charging her with “making false statements to obtain a certificate under the Road Traffic Ordinance.”
Additionally, from last weekend to early this week, Hong Kong police arrested eight pan-democrats, including various current and former members of the Legislative Council, and accused them of disrupting a meeting of the House Committee of the Legislative Council in May of this year. The police explained that they arrested these people on charges under the “Law of privileges” of the Legislative Council. The police actions once again sparked a discussion about whether this ordinance, which was originally intended to protect members of the Legislative Council, could be used to sue members of the Legislative Council.

China has started taking the seventh national census, which is the country’s nationwide population statistics again since 2010.
China began conducting the seventh national census starting in November, which is the first time population statistics have been made at the national level in ten years.
The census that is carried out every ten years is seen as an important basis for the Chinese authorities to formulate economic and social development plans. Due to China’s long-term “family planning” policy, many academics also worry whether the census results will further highlight the aging crisis and cause the authorities to fully liberalize the birth policy.
Millions of pollsters began to travel to urban communities and towns and villages, door-to-door registration work. According to official media reports, the census subjects include mainland Chinese citizens and residents of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign countries who have lived in China for a long time.
