CPC report seen giving US better understanding

US officials should read the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to better understand China's priorities from domestic and international perspectives, said a US expert.

Sourabh Gupta, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Institute for China-America Studies, said: "It's useful for American officials to read where China is going and what its primary priorities are."

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Oct 31 after the congress. Wang recommended that the United States should carefully study the report if it really wants to understand China.
