Where
This year’s annual session of the National People’s Congress (NPC), held during the first two weeks of March, comes at a critical time: China’s economy has slowed, the anti-corruption campaign is in high gear, concern about the environment is at an all-time high, and relations with the US, Japan, and others are not very stable. Moreover, Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang have promised that 2015 will be the year of going beyond talk and carrying out economic reforms. All of these issues will come up at the NPC. Although an orchestrated event, there is always room for surprises and unexpected developments.
