China's Annual Two Sessions: Meaningful Reform or Missed Opportunities?

March 14, 2025 • 9:00 – 10:00 am EDT

Join the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a virtual event to discuss China's 2025 "Two Sessions," the parallel annual meetings of China's National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). These meetings will culminate a Government Work report and the 2025 National Development Plan, among other government reports and speeches, which will be closely watched for policies addressing China's stagnant economy. 

CSIS Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy, China Power Project Director Bonny Lin, Trustee Chair Deputy Director Ilaria Mazzocco, and Jonathan Czin of the Brookings Institution will provide analysis on the sessions' outcomes. Together they will break down the key policy developments of the meeting and the implications for China's economy, defense, technology sector, and relations with the rest of the world. 

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
