Amid hardships, Xi leads China's sprint to milestone

2020/05/29

China convened the "two sessions" after an over two-month postponement due to COVID-19 as the country makes its homestretch toward "Xiaokang," a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

Attended by about 3,000 national lawmakers and 2,000 political advisors, the week-long event in Beijing provided reassurance that the timetable for the milestone goal will not change, despite the pandemic and global economic recession.

Xiaokang will be the first commitment to be fulfilled in the course of realizing the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.

President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, joined national lawmakers and political advisors in discussing state affairs.

The nation's will and strength to overcome any difficulties shone through and a well-off society for 1.4 billion Chinese people is within sight.
