The dust has settled on China’s latest Party Congress. The country’s Communist Party holds the gathering every five years, and it’s the political event to watch. That’s also the case in the United States, where politicians from both major parties are bringing up China ahead of the country’s midterm elections. In this episode, we look at what the latest from the party congress could mean for people within China, and for the country’s relationship with the United States.
