In the introductory article by Ian Johnson, he answers the question “Will there be any big policy announcements during the twentieth party congress, such as economic reforms or a lifting of China’s zero-COVID policy?”:
Probably not. Congresses are about choosing the party’s leaders and setting its general direction. There will be a lengthy communiqué issued at the end of the meeting from which observers can glean ideas about what the government has planned. But it will mostly praise the government and list challenges.
(I style glean as bold.)
The meaning of glean from Oxford Dictionary of English:
obtain (information) from various sources, often with difficulty: the information is gleaned from press cuttings.
This is the first time I read the verb. It’s accurate. I need to learn more words like this.
