China's NPC: Key takeaways and Xi's hardened stance on US
China's annual political meetings, known as the two sessions, concluded with Xi Jinping firmly in control and the Chinese Communist Party advancing while the state retreats. The party has taken all decision-making power into its own hands, with the State Council reduced to the role of an executor. Xi's unusually direct remarks signal a notable escalation in publicly pushing back against the US. The gender imbalance in high office in China is striking, with no woman appointed vice-premier under Li, China's new premier. Beijing retained some of its existing economic leadership, including People's Bank of China governor Yi Gang and Finance Minister Liu Kun, to send a message of continuity and consistency as economic headwinds loom at home and abroad.
