China’s annual political meetings are setting the tone for its legislative year, with the 15th Five-Year Plan. Leaders are focusing on improving people’s livelihoods, promoting high-quality growth, and accelerating technological innovation, all key parts of China’s drive toward modernization and further opening up.

Beijing also says it wants to strengthen multilateral cooperation and support a fair global trading system, goals it believes are under strain amid U.S. moves toward unilateralism and trade protectionism. #Heat #China #TwoSessions #Beijing #XiJinping #CGTN2sessions
