In pictures: the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China

The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China is being held this Sunday in Beijing. Xi Jinping should see his power strengthened during this five-year conclave. He could thus receive a third five-year term, which would break with these recent predecessors and establish him as arguably the most powerful Chinese politician since Mao Zedong. The event is also crucial for the powerful Party office, which will be recomposed on this occasion, giving a glimpse of the future political ambitions of the Middle Kingdom.
