The speech given by Xi Jinping every five years at the National Party Congress is styled much like a State of the Union speech in the US, just less frequent so significantly longer. Xi's speech in 2017 at the 19th Party Congress was 66 pages long and covered all policy matters Xi intended to prioritize during his coming term. This market resolves YES if Xi indicates that during his third term he plans to ease the strict Covid Zero policies he has kept in force since the pandemic began in early 2020.

Xi Jinping just called its zero tolerance approach to Covid an “all out war,” echoing a message that state media has been repeating all week: “zero-Covid” is not going away. Many people, both inside and outside China, had hoped that there would be some change in policy following the Party Congress. This messaging has dashed those hopes.

*that he plans to erase his strict

predicted NO

@MartinRandall No I meant ease. As in "ease up".
