Beijing's "Two Sessions" kicked off the political season in China on Friday. 2017 is an essential year for implementing China's 13th Five-year Plan (2016-2020) and global media outlets are paying close attention to this year's events.
For a better understanding of China's development path, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post noted that reducing real estate bubbles, and lowering financial risks will top this year's Sessions' agenda.
The Australian Financial Review pointed out that GDP growth estimates set out in the government's working report will provide key insight into China's development plans.
According to the paper, a goal of 6.5 percent GDP growth means that China will continue to focus on economic reforms. A goal of 7% percent GDP growth will mean that China plans to focus on stimulating the economy as well.
The Straits Times of Singapore forecasts that China will pay more attention to the quality of economic growth in 2017, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly development.
