Webinar: Observations from China’s Two Sessions
The Two Sessions is the common term for the annual gatherings of China’s two major political bodies – the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)
The Two Sessions are closely watched by foreign companies and political analysts. They reveal Beijing’s priorities for the coming year and outline the country’s overall policy direction. This year, anticipation is even higher than usual. Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policy is already causing major disruptions worldwide. China is a key target. So far, Beijing has promptly retaliated. Are new measures under way?
This webinar examines highlights and major announcements from the Two Sessions. In addition to the trade war with the United States, we investigate how China’s political leaders plan to boost consumption, attract foreign investment, solve the real estate slump, and much more.
