Chinese Communist Party National Congress is expected in November this year (not October)

The National Congress is held only twice a decade. This Congress will select China's leaders for the next five years. President Xi Jinping is the favourite to secure a third term as party leader.

Japanese media report (Nikkei), citing Hong Kong daily paper Ming Pao.

The paper said the Cyberspace Administration of China will tighten regulations imposed on internet companies between April and December to control information flow.

The previous Communist Party National Congress in 2017 was held in October.

Chinese state media have been silent on the exact date of the 2022 gathering.
