Why it matters

The closed-door conference where the Politburo sets China’s macro-economic policy priorities for the coming year — the readout signals stimulus, property, and industrial-policy direction that shapes EU export demand and overcapacity pressure.

What to watch

• Exact dates announced only days ahead (typically mid-December).
• Stimulus, fiscal-deficit and consumption-vs-investment signals in the readout.
• Any shift on overcapacity/exports relevant to EU trade defence.
