今天为大家带来此系列的第13集视频——中国共产党全国人民代表大会知多少？

Delegates from around China gather in Beijing at the Great Hall of the People on Tiananmen Square for a week every five years: it’s time for the National Congress of the Communist Party of China!

每隔五年，来自全国各地的代表们都会齐聚在人民大会堂，参加中国共产党全国代表大会。

This year, some 2,300 delegates – who have been elected specifically for the event – are expected to attend the 19th CPC National Congress.

The 11 CPC national congresses since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 have taken place in Beijing.   

而今年，有将近2300代表将来到北京，参加党的十九大。这是自1949年中华人民共和国建立以来在北京召开的第十一次中国共产党全国代表大会。中国共产党全国代表大会你了解多少？今天的《漫画十九大》为你解答。

What do the delegates do?

The National Congress sets the tone for the development of both the Party and the country over the following five years. 

The delegates will have a heavy work load during the week: hearing and examining reports by the Party's Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection; discussing and deciding major issues concerning the Party; and reviewing the Constitution of the Communist Party of China.

And who gets elected?

Elections are held for the Central Committee – one of the top political bodies in the CPC, which currently has 205 members and 171 alternate members – and for the 130-seat Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The outgoing Central Committee determines how many delegates will attend the next National Congress, five years down the line, and decides on the procedure for their election. For instance, in 2012, the Central Committee decided that this year’s event would have 30 more delegates, raising the total number from 2,270 to 2,300.

The new Central Committee will also elect members of its Political Bureau and members of the Political Bureau Standing Committee, as well as the its general secretary.
