China’s parliament — the National People’s Congress — is meeting for the first time since the end of Covid Zero to hear how the country’s top leaders plan to restart the country’s growth engine. Then the roughly 3,000 deputies will give their ceremonial seal of approval — no surprise — to everything proposed. Still, the annual session is worth watching in that it provides a chance to see China’s future leaders in action.
Li Qiang, who’s poised to become the premier and is already the Communist Party’s No. 2 after President Xi Jinping, and the new foreign minister, Qin Gang, may even meet the press. The meeting, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, starts Sunday and is expected to run a week or so.
