AP PHOTOS: Banners herald China's Communist Party congress

In this Friday, Oct. 13, 2017 photo, a woman walks past a billboard for the upcoming Communist Party congress in Beijing. As China’s ruling Communist Party kicks off its twice-a-decade national congress on Wednesday, buildings, bridges and construction sites around Beijing have been festooned with banners heralding the party’s merits and its goal of realizing the “Chinese Dream” of greater prosperity. The full text of the billboard reads “Hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strive for achieving the all-out well-being of society and realizing the Chinese dream.” (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)
