Feng Li/Getty ImagesDrones have been banned, clubs closed, and pollution has been cut to deliver perfectly blue skies in time for China’s 19th National Congress of the Communist Party in Beijing this week.

China doesn’t have democratic elections, so the purpose of the National Congress is to select the party’s leadership and announce the vision and policies guiding the next five-year political term.
