Belt, Road attracting attention in Japan

Scholar upbeat on Beijing-Tokyo business venture opportunities

The ongoing first session of the 13th National People's Congress is of great importance, as it is putting on public display thoughtful discussion on the important issues facing China within the context of President Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, said Gyokurin Sei, manager of market operations for the Asia-Pacific team of major Japanese trading firm Marubeni Corp.

It therefore comes as little wonder that the event in Beijing is winning plenty of attention in both China and abroad. New Chinese government officials are expected to be appointed - a procedure that takes place every five years.
