China sets economic course as 'Two Sessions' set to open in Beijing
FI
Home Annual political gathering to unveil growth targets, policy priorities and new five-year development roadmap China is set to convene its most important annual political event on Wednesday as thousands of lawmakers and political advisers gather in the capital for the 2026 “Two Sessions,” a key platform that will outline the country’s economic direction, policy priorities and long-term strategic vision. The twin meetings — the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) — mark the fourth session of the 14th NPC and CPPCC National Committee. Held each year in early March concurrently, the “Two Sessions” serve as China’s foremost political gathering, where the government reviews past performance, sets economic targets, approves budgets and signals policy shifts for the coming year and beyond.
