Following a decision to bring greater transparency to process, the Chinese government started sending delegations abroad to give further clarification of policies adopted at the recent 17th Party Congress.
While other delegations have been sent to Japan, Russia, the European Union and Southeast Asia, this particular delegation – with its three principal members having played instrumental roles in developing the policies for political reform that were set out at the Party Congress – came to the United States to give further explication to American China-watchers.
The proceedings of the roundtable were off-the-record.
