The 3 architects of modern China

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing from October 18 to October 24. The convention is held every five years, the national congress being the highest body within the Communist Party of China responsible for taking key decisions such as changes in party leadership as well as assessment of its achievements and future direction. Western media maintains the congress is a symbolic political exercise and important decisions are made much before the actual meeting.
