Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee General Secretary Xi Jinping on Wednesday said that the coming five years will witness several important “junctures and signposts”.

“As I look ahead to the next five years, I see several important junctures and signposts,” Xi made the remarks while leading other members of the Standing Committee of the 19th CPC Central Committee Political Bureau to meet the press, Xinhua reported.

He stated that the coming five years between the 19th and the 20th Party Congress is the period in which timeframes of the Two Centenary Goals will converge.
