BEIJING (Xinhua): The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee convened a meeting on Thursday to discuss and plan the Party's efforts to improve conduct, build integrity, and combat corruption for the year 2026.
Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the meeting.
According to the meeting, the Party's top anti-corruption body will hold its plenary session from Jan. 12 to 14 in 2026.
On another bright note, the central parity rate of the Chinese currency renminbi, or the yuan, strengthened 79 pips to 7.0392 against the U.S. dollar Thursday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.
In China's spot foreign exchange market, the yuan is allowed to rise or fall by 2 percent from the central parity rate each trading day.
The central parity rate of the yuan against the U.S. dollar is based on a weighted average of prices offered by market makers before the opening of the interbank market each business day. - Xinhua
