China’s annual two sessions of the NPC and the CPPCC, the most important political meetings of the country, have kicked off this week. Premier Li Qiang delivered the Government Work Report Tuesday morning, which set the GDP growth target for this year at around 5 percent, and a stimulus package was also unveiled to stabilize economic growth. What other messages can be interpreted from this year’s NPC session? How will the two sessions help shape China’s economic future and China’s role on the world stage?

Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Wang Huiyao, former counselor of China State Council; Prof. Qian Jun, executive dean of Fanhai International School of Finance from Fudan University; and David Mahon, executive chairman of Mahon China Investment Management.
