Over the past week, the government has laid out ambitious plans to overtake the U.S. in research-and-development investment and shift its capital-intensive growth model toward services and consumer spending.
CHINA will bring its biggest annual political gathering to a close, with Premier Li Keqiang’s once-a-year news briefing in focus, along with a series of votes on Hong Kong that could stoke tensions with the West.
The National People’s Congress will approve measures to overhaul Hong Kong’s election system and a policy blueprint designed to reduce China’s technological dependence on the U.S. in a closing session set for 3 p.m. Thursday in Beijing.
Shortly thereafter, Li will discuss everything from economic growth to financial markets in one of the rare occasions when a top leader of the world’s second-largest economy takes questions from the media.
