The fourth session of China's 14th National People's Congress (NPC) entered its second day of deliberations on March 9, 2026, with deputies gathering at Beijing's Great Hall of the People. The morning session commenced at 9:00 a.m. following a media engagement opportunity at the Deputies' Corridor, where legislators fielded questions on key policy priorities.
As the country's supreme state power organ, this year's NPC session focuses on implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) and addressing economic modernization targets. Deputies emphasized stability measures during pre-session interviews, with one provincial delegate stating: "Our discussions will center on balancing technological innovation with sustainable development goals."
Observers anticipate the plenary will review draft legislation on digital economy regulations and rural revitalization initiatives. The session occurs amid heightened global attention to China's economic direction, particularly regarding green energy investments and artificial intelligence governance frameworks.
