As China convenes its annual "two sessions" - the gatherings of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's legislative process has once again drawn global attention. In China's legislative system, the NPC and its Standing Committee serve not only as the lawmakers but also as conduits for public sentiment.
China's commitment to high-quality development and its efforts to foster "new quality productive forces" should contribute significantly to the government's common prosperity agenda, a goal that, if achieved, would be a "big win" for the world, according to an emeritus professor at Oxford University. James Crabbe, a supernumerary fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford University, whose research spans biomedical and environmental sciences, has collaborated with Chinese scientists for two decades, loves reading Chinese literature, and follows the country's societal and economic development.
BEIJING, March 5 (Xinhua) -- China's 2025 GDP growth target of around 5 percent, alongside the measures the country will implement to meet this goal, demonstrates its confidence and prowess in securing new achievements in high-quality development. The world's second-largest economy will sustain its encouraging momentum and remain a key anchor in an uncertain global economic landscape.
As China's top legislature and top political advisory body convene this week for their annual sessions, the global spotlight shifts to Beijing.
