China's top political advisory body convened a crucial preparatory meeting in Beijing on March 1, 2026, finalizing arrangements for its upcoming annual session. The Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee reviewed key documents that will shape this year's political advisory agenda.
Chairman Wang Huning, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, presided over the session where members approved the official schedule for the Fourth Session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee. The annual gathering is set to begin March 4 at the capital's Great Hall of the People.
Committee members examined the 2025 work report detailing last year's achievements in political consultation and policy advice. The meeting also included in-depth discussions on draft documents outlining this year's operational priorities and the implementation status of proposals from previous sessions.
This preparatory session sets the stage for next week's full assembly, where over 2,000 political advisors will convene to discuss national development strategies and provide counsel on China's economic and social priorities for 2026.
