The Chinese Communist Party will open its annual congress on May 22,
after postponing the event for a number of weeks due to the coronavirus
epidemic.To get more news about [url=https://www.shine.cn/2021-Two-Sessions/]China Two Sessions[/url], you can visit shine news official website.
The announcement, reported by its state news agency Xinhua,
indicates China's growing confidence that it has largely overcome the
pandemic that was first detected in the country's Hubei province late
last year.
"Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China … with
Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and through the hard work of the whole
country and the people, the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control
situation in China is improving steadily and the normal economic and
social life is gradually resuming," Xinhua said.
Around one-third of the 3,000 delegates in attendance are provincial
and municipal-level cadres, who have had important leadership roles
working on the front line of the battle against the epidemic.
Held in Beijing, the meeting will see delegates travel from across
the country by plane and train to hear a state-of-the-country address
from Premier Li Keqiang, seated shoulder-to-shoulder in the colossal
auditorium at the Great Hall of the People.It wasn't clear from Xinhua's
report whether delegates would be meeting in person or virtually and
there was no word on any meeting of the congress' advisory body that
meets around the same time.
A report in the state-run tabloid Global Times, however, indicated
that the meeting could be shorter than usual due to the epidemic.
The annual meeting known as the Two Sessions brings together two of
China's political bodies, the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC), China's
legislature.While CPPCC has an advisory role, it has no power to pass
laws — that's the responsibility of the delegates who make up the NPC,
who are mostly Communist Party members, and tend to pass laws reflecting
the vision of the party's leaders.
While China claims the Two Sessions is a form of democracy,
observers generally consider it a 'rubber stamp' parliament used by the
Government to set out the country's achievements and map out the year
ahead.
