# Live: The Hype – How the CPC governs itself

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by CGTN.

What does it mean when the CPC gathers for four days to advance its self-governance? And why does this matter for the governance of China? From October 26 to 29, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held its fifth plenary session in Beijing. That was the focus of the discussions. On The Hype, guests from Cameroon, Chile and China break it all down: what the session is about, what decisions it adopted, and how those decisions shape everyday life — from rural communities and public appeal channels to people’s daily work. Stay tuned! #TheHype #AskChina #5thPlenum
