The 14th National People’s Congress elected a new state leadership in its first session. Xi Jinping was unanimously re-elected president and reappointed chairman of the Central Military Commission, which reflected the will of the whole party, the military and people of all ethnic groups.
This year’s two sessions attracted widespread attention as countries around the world expect China to inject more certainty into an increasingly uncertain world. Given the deep interdependence between China and the rest of the world, the nation’s development brings hope to all.
Here are three key takeaways from the two sessions. First, China’s high-quality development will power the global economy. In the face of the pandemic and many other uncertainties both at home and abroad, the Central Committee with Xi at the core charted a course for China’s high-quality development.
This is the primary task to ensure China becomes a modern socialist country. During this year’s two sessions, Xi underlined the importance of high-quality development on many occasions. This year’s government work report also put forward specific measures to coordinate policies and form a synergy for development.
