China's Two Sessions meetings commence this week, involving thousands of delegates from various regions who will discuss legislation, personnel changes, and the national budget over two weeks. The National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) convene simultaneously, although the former is a rubber stamp parliament. This year, attention is on economic stimulus strategies amid high youth unemployment and the tech sector's recent thawing relationship with Xi. Additionally, the CCP's stance on Taiwan could be pivotal, given growing tensions in the region.
This year observers are looking out for major economic stimulus policies to address China's struggling economy and high youth unemployment, as well as changes in the party's approach to the tech industry.
The CPPCC is an advisory body with little real political influence but often sees some outside-the-box proposals for issues like China's demographic crisis.
