Premier Li Qiang expected to deliver work report when top legislature’s meeting opens on March 5, but he will skip press conference again
China typically holds these meetings, known as the “two sessions”, in early March.
During the meetings, the Chinese government is expected to reveal its annual policy plans for the economy, military, trade, diplomacy, the environment and other areas for deliberation and approval.
The meeting is expected to last about a week, with President Xi Jinping and other top Communist Party leaders joining the group discussions. Xi’s speeches during these deliberation sessions are usually regarded as important signs of China’s priorities and direction.
