One of the most important moments in China’s political calendar concluded on March 11. Delegates from the National People’s Congress, numbering over 2,900, and representatives of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a political advisory body of 2,170 members, convened in Beijing for the annual ‘Two Sessions’.
