<p>A few days ago, I was browsing around CCTV and I found this page labeled "喜迎十九大", with the hammer and sickle next to it and I was immediately interested. </p>

<p><a href="http://news.cctv.com/special/xysjd/index.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://news.cctv.com/special/xysjd/index.shtml</a></p>

<p>I have yet to find a good translation for the phrase "喜迎十九大", which I'm sure means something other than "welcome nineteen big". Can anyone please help explain to me this event? Many thanks in advance for any responses.</p>
