"Whose Rules? ——Looking forward to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" New York International Symposium (2017)

On September 30 and October 1, 2017, the Hu Zhao Foundation held an international seminar at Columbia University and the Sheraton Hotel in New York to discuss the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

In the five years since Xi Jinping came to power, on the one hand, he has strengthened the suppression of dissent and civil society, and on the other hand, in the name of anti-corruption, he has launched the largest official purge since the Cultural Revolution. It also triggered the most intense power struggle within the party since June 4th. The Symposium discussed the questions: will the conflicts within the party intensify? How far can Xi Jinping go on the road of personal centralization? Will Xi set up his own rules to rule the country?
