The meetings of China’s top legislature and advisory body opened on March 5 with the country facing economic uncertainty at home and heightened geopolitical tensions abroad. The annual gathering – collectively referred to as the “two sessions” – provides an opportunity to gain critical insight into the nation’s direction for the coming year and beyond.

To give readers a better understanding of how China’s leaders are addressing the country’s challenges, the SCMP newsroom will partner with the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis to host a webinar delving into the key takeaways from the sessions and their impact on the economic landscape, politics and international relations, particularly with the United States.

Joining us will be Neil Thomas, fellow on Chinese politics, and Lizzi Lee, fellow on the Chinese economy, both from the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis. Together with our moderator, SCMP Executive Editor Chow Chung-yan, they will discuss the significant aspects and outcomes of the two sessions.
