Party beach party
It’s official.
China’s leaders are at the beach.
How we know: On Thursday, head of the Party’s central secretariat Cai Qi met with “experts” in Beidaihe.
ICYDK: Beidaihe is a beach town about 300km east of Beijing. Senior leaders retire there for around two weeks every August.
- (It’s not the nicest beach, but the security is GREAT.)
Why it matters: With top leaders at the beach, early August tends to be a quiet time on the policy front.
