After Premier Li Keqiang delivered his annual Government Work Report, Wojciech Jakobiec, first secretary of the Polish embassy in Beijing, said he was particularly happy to hear repeatedly references to ongoing Chinese initiatives to revive and modernize the ancient Silk Road trading routes.
The Silk Road initiatives will expand the benefits of China's development to neighboring countries, so it's a win-win idea of joint development and prosperity.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday China and United States should look to the future rather than focusing on their problems.
Responding to recent reports of China's land reclamation around its islands and reefs in the South China Sea, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday that the country "has every right to do things that are lawful and justified", and the decision is not targeting any party.
China's national strategy of reviving the ancient Silk Road is expected to benefit its neighbors and other countries along the route, according to foreign journalists reporting on the two sessions.
For Orville Schell, a top China hand in the United States, the climate agreement struck by President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama in Beijing in November was "historic", but he said enlisting sub-national level support is critical to implement the deal.
Chinese reporters might have felt more comfortable covering the nation's biggest political event this year as they were exposed to more and more trendy discussions by officials who usually seem detached from ordinary people's lives.
The military and State-owned enterprises are two major targets of the anti-corruption campaign. Thirty high-ranking officers have been put under investigation or convicted since the beginning of this year. Inspection teams have been sent to 26 State-owned enterprises. Some legislators also said the government should pay attention to corruption in private enterprises. Comments:
We should greatly encourage production of high-quality films and television series on anti-corruption. Some "tigers" (senior officials charged with corruption) have been convicted. This is the truth and part of history, which should be brought to the screen.
Premier Li Keqiang firmly supports the idea to build a cross-Bohai Strait passage, equivalent to nearly two times the length of the UK's Channel Tunnel, a move to promote regional logistics and encourage investment.
Beijing is determined to keep its population at less than 23 million by 2020 by moving out industries that are not suitable for the capital and adjusting economic structures, deputies said on Friday.
