Resolves based on the official communique from the Chinese Communist Party following the formal conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_National_Congress_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party) which is currently taking place throughout he second half of 2022.
The CCP's governing document, the Constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, was adopted in 1982 at the 12th party congress. Since then revisions were made at the 13th (1987), 14th (1992), 16th (2002), and 19th (2019) national congresses.
This question resolves YES if new revisions are made to the CCP Constitution during the current national congress. Resolves NO if not.

China to hold 20th Communist Party congress from Oct. 16
@BTE Most likely Xi will make changes to the Constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, going for his third term and restores the title of "Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China".
@stormtk293 Interesting. Do you think they will change the age requirements for the Central Committee? Xi will age out otherwise after this term.
@BTE Not sure if there is an actual rule of age requirement in CCP’s constitution. Most likely it’s a unspoken rule started since Jiang Zemin’s term. Yes I think he will make lots of changes in order to receive a stable 3rd term.
@stormtk293 Apparently Xi is already too old by traditional standards which had everyone 68 and older automatically retire. Xi is 69.
@stormtk293 I did just learn that minimum age for Chinese president is 45, 10 years older than in US. That is interesting. I guess without elections its all about rising through the ranks which takes time.
@BTE You’re right. To understand CCP is basically to understand a classic Asian gangster structure. In Asia culture (Greater China, Korea, Japan etc.) age matters.
