China prepares for a big annual meeting to chart a growth strategy
#1
  • The Chinese government’s annual parliamentary meeting known as the “Two Sessions” is set to kick off this week in Beijing.
  • The otherwise generally symbolic gathering takes on particular significance this year as it marks the beginning of China’s five-year development plan — the 14th such in the country’s history — and the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist Party.
  • Authorities are also set to lay out targets for this year’s urban job creation, inflation and other growth measures.

BEIJING — The Chinese government is set to kick off an annual parliamentary meeting this week for approving national priorities for 2021.


The gathering of delegates, known as the “Two Sessions,” has overseen such changes as President Xi Jinping’s abolition of term limits in 2018 and the proposal for a new security law for Hong Kong last year.

The otherwise generally symbolic meeting takes on particular significance this year as it marks the beginning of China’s five-year development plan — the 14th such in the country’s history — and the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist Party.

Authorities are expected to lay out details on topics ranging from employment targets to management of the semi-autonomous region of Hong Kong.
