China's much-awaited Two Sessions start with the CPPCC, the top political advisory body, opening on March 4, and the NPC, the top legislature, on March 5. This is the annual period when NPC deputies and CPPCC members discuss new plans and policies for China's development in the following year.
On the eve of the Two Sessions, we look back on the impressive sci-tech achievements China has made over the past year, the policies introduced by the government to boost sci-tech innovation and facilitate international exchanges, as well as the changes and benefits from the proposals submitted during the previous editions of the Two Sessions.
