Talk:20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party

Mainspaced
The 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, October 2022, is akin to a US party convention and general election in one. It's pretty important. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:08, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

'Protest' Section
I'm having an extremely hard time understanding the inclusion of this section in the article, and the back-and-forth I've had with people defending it has so far offered not a shred of meaningful justification, only 'just because'. One anonymous person placing a couple typo-filled banners on a random bridge for a grand total of an hour or two could barely be seen as significant protest, and even more importantly, I struggle to see how it is so directly related to the congress itself that it warrants inclusion as its own section here in this article. I'm going to remove it, as I strongly debate its WP:REL. If people believe it warrants inclusion, they can finally give a meaningful explanation as to why, since the WP:ONUS is on them. Thank you. 173.212.124.217 (talk) 11:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, seems to be unrelated to the congress, apart from being in the same country in the same week. Please be mindful on the rules around edit-warring, you've reverted this 3 times now.  I have contacted the other user on their talk page and asked them to join us here! JeffUK (talk) 11:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please see the RSes below for why this section should be preserved. This highly unusual event has a direct link to the party congress.      Normchou   💬 16:00, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have read your references, they're all newspieces in western media all pointing out the sole concidence that it happened near the time of the Congress. China is a big place, a lot of events happened before, during and after the congress. One man with one banner on one bridge seems a ridiculously low bar for justifying inclusion in this article, if you really want the single unifying thread to be that it was close in temporal proximity to the Congress. Six western news articles pointing out the coincidence does not make a strong case for relevancy. I also see you decided to revert the edit back even after so many reversions have already happened, defying the need to reach consensus before changes happen - should we be bringing in a higher authority to settle this? 173.212.124.217 (talk) 16:22, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * All 6 sources listed above are considered reliable in WP:RSP. If you are suggesting that this connection is an extraordinary claim, that's enough sources to substantiate it. If you believe that Western media should not be trusted in articles related to China, that's another discussion, but as far as I know, the consensus in Wikipedia is that the above 6 sources remain reliable even in topics concerning China.
 * Many protests happen in China, but most are concerned with particular events. In-person protests directly targeting Xi Jinping are extremely rare, let alone it happened in the capital city during the week of the party congress. PetraMagna (talk) 19:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Why is the CPC not called by its true name?
I fail to understand why this page keeps referring to the Communist Party of China as the "Chinese Communist Party". There is a clear racial distinction as the party is not only the party of the Han people but all peoples of China. Besides, the party itself is called the Communist Party of China and not the Chinese Communist Party. It feels extremely subjective to change the name of the ruling party of the biggest country on the planet just because we prefer it? I am curious to hear the reasons why this page refuses to use the actual name of the party when referring to it. 91.183.224.50 (talk) 14:19, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
