Tomorrow (Friday) National People’s Congress opening in #Beijing: nearly 3,000 delegates will gather to rubber stamp new measures/laws approved by the Communist Party. Watch out for changes to #HongKong’s electoral system making it even harder for anyone but pro-Beijing camp.
Also to watch out for: if #China’s leaders set a GDP target for the coming 12 months. Last year - given the #coronavirus emergency - there was no target (actually understandable really).
Climate and other environmental challenges could also get a mention, especially as they relate to economic changes. New 5-year plan to be unveiled. #China’s post-#covid relations with the world also critical, especially with new #US administration.
The National People's Congress opening ceremony will start in just over an hour. Today #China's No2 leader Li Keqiang delivers a marathon speech - the Government Work Report - with details of how the country has performed over the past 12 months and where it plans to be going.
