This is a breakdown of Li Keqiang’s speech to China’s National People’s Congress on March 5, 2021. I’ve highlighted the key points that I thought were worth noting. You can access the full text of the speech here.
As usual, Li began by talking about the past year, and in this case, the 13th FYP period too. A few interesting bits to note in his comments.
First, he feels that China “achieved major strategic success in our response to Covid 19” and he highlighted the target of poverty alleviation and building a moderately prosperous society. In other words, there’s a lot of confidence that the Party has heading into 2021.
