Voice: Results of China’s “two sessions” worth the wait

China’s “two sessions” are drawing intense attention from the international community. The court of public opinion generally believes that the results of the “two sessions” are worth waiting for.

Trending News in Russia remarked that for those concerned with China’s economy, new economic growth targets for the next five years will attract tremendous attention. Guided by high-quality development goals, how will China build a modern economic system and solve the economic and social issues through its development process? The question is answered soon by the Report on the Work of the Government delivered by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.

South Korean media are concerned about new changes Chinese economic plans may bring about. Aju Business Daily reported that poverty alleviation, environmental governance and economic risk controls are all important issues and concepts China will focus more intensely upon. Additionally, South Korean media are particularly concerned about the positive signals the “two sessions” are expected to outline regarding the maintenance of free trade, impact on both international and Korean stock markets and other topics related to South Korea.

The Cambodian Khmer Daily reported that the “two sessions” are particularly noteworthy because the year 2018 is a critical year for China’s development. The international community hopes to learn of the next breakthroughs, new “timetables” and “roadmaps” and other new measures concerning China’s continued reform and opening up.

Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao pointed out that the number of “super rich” delegates and other participating members of China’s “two sessions” have decreased this year. The industries from which these delegates traditionally come have also changed, reflecting the rapid development of enterprises and changes in China’s overall economic structure. From an economic viewpoint, these changes are related to the direction of China’s economic development.
