[HIGHLIGHTS] China's People's Congress: "An atmosphere like a school reunion"

China's parliament is the largest in the world. It meets once a year to approve proposals made by the Communist Party.

The party sets the goals and the parliament approves them. China's leadership announced its plan for more economic growth at the People's Congress. The country is aiming for economic growth that is just as high as last year, says SPIEGEL's Georg Fahrion.. The congress now lasts a week, unlike usual, and the many journalists on site will not have the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
