Resolved

Status quo
LIKELYChina-exposed sectors trade sideways; the meeting concludes with routine statements and no material policy shifts, leaving regulatory and succession questions unresolved.
Worsens
POSSIBLEChinese stocks and offshore yuan weaken if the meeting signals tighter internal purges, factional tensions, or abrupt policy reversals that heighten investor concern about regime stability and rule consistency.
