Viewing domestic issues from a global perspective

First impressions usually matter the most.

When I started to cover the annual two sessions five years ago, topics discussed by national legislators and political advisers mostly focused on industrial upgrading, grain production, drug prices, jobs and environmental issues.

However, in the past few years, the term "internationalization" has been increasingly mentioned and has generated many discussions at the two sessions about the internationalization of the yuan, companies, the business environment, talent and manufacturing standards.
