China’s National People’s Congress, a key political event in the country, is set to begin this week with the top leaders and provincial officials gathering to endorse decisions made by the Chinese Communist Party. The event holds significance as it signals the government’s priorities for the upcoming year and disseminates instructions to party members nationwide.
The focus at this year’s congress will be on balancing innovation and domestic consumption to revitalize the economy, amidst challenges like a sluggish real estate sector and trade tensions with the U.S. under President Donald Trump. Analysts expect an economic growth target of around 5%, with emphasis on increasing domestic demand and supporting the private sector.
China’s leadership appears committed to fostering innovation to enhance self-reliance in technology and industry, rather than focusing on household incomes and expanding the middle class. Foreign policy, particularly U.S.-China relations under Trump, will be closely watched, along with China’s stance on the Ukraine war and its relationship with Russia.
The National People’s Congress, made up of delegates from various sectors, does not have real legislative power but provides insight into the government’s priorities and goals. The event will also include the concurrent meeting of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, known as the Two Sessions, where influential figures from different sectors discuss key issues facing the country.
