Tips

culture

生活会 (literally 'life meeting') is a CCP institutional ritual where Party members gather to criticize themselves and each other. The full term is 民主生活会 (mínzhǔ shēnghuóhuì, 'democratic life meeting'). Reinvigorated under Xi as part of intra-Party discipline. Don't translate it as a casual 'social gathering' — it's a formal political meeting.
