The annual session of China's top government advisory body, the
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), will
get underway Wednesday. All CPPCC members are currently in the
capital, with preparations for the event all but completed.
Many of the CPPCC members say they have prepared bills on a
range of pressing topics for submission during the upcoming
session. A press center has been set up for Chinese and overseas
correspondents wishing to cover the session. So far about 2,000
journalists have signed up to report on the CPPCC session, and
about one-fifth of them come from overseas.
Preparations for National People's Congress session are almost
complete. This, China's top legislature, will convene its annual
session this Friday. Nearly 3,000 NPC deputies and more than 2,000
CPPCC members from across the country are expected to be in the
capital for the two meetings.
