Thousands of delegates are making their way to Beijing from across China for the country’s annual legislative meetings, which start at the weekend and are closely watched for indications of where government policy might be headed.
The so-called “Two Sessions” get under way on March 4 with the annual meeting of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). The National People’s Congress (NPC) opens the following day. Proceedings are expected to continue for a couple of weeks.
