　　At about 9:40 pm on March 4, the first press conference of the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress was held in Beijing.

　　Just like last year, the first press conference of the National People's Congress was still opened at 9:40 in the evening. The two ends of the screen were connected to the Great Hall of the People and Media Center.

On the evening of March 4, the press conference of the Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress was held in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The spokesperson of the conference Zhang Yesui answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on the agenda and work of the National People's Congress.

In order to effectively prevent and control the epidemic and jointly maintain public health and health, the press conference will be conducted in the form of online video.

　　Media, which has been the press center of the NPC and CPPCC for many years, is regarded as the main position of the important information distribution of the NPC and CPPCC.

On the highly concentrating platform of the National People's Congress and the People's Republic of China, information release is more like an annual agreement with the outside world: answering the concerns of all parties and explaining governance concepts.

　　Although the number of reporters on the scene has been reduced due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, and the scene of "full standing" has not been reproduced, the agreement for this news release has not changed.

　　However, compared with last year's first NPC press conference on May 21, this year is on March 4.

For reporters, this is actually a familiar "rhythm of the NPC and CPPCC"-when China has withstood the test of the epidemic, the NPC and CPPCC will return to "normal" and meet again in spring.

　　A reporter at the scene said that the National Two Sessions can be held in March as scheduled, which is a victory in itself.

On the evening of March 4, the press conference of the Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress was held in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The spokesperson of the conference Zhang Yesui answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on the agenda of the conference and issues related to the work of the National People's Congress.

　　Just before the press conference, the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress had just held a preparatory meeting, and as many as ten agenda items were voted through.

Subsequently, the conference spokesperson Zhang Yesui was produced through legal procedures.

　　Stepping into the main venue for the press release of the Great Hall of the People, Zhang Yesui waved his hand across the screen.

"Good evening everyone! Welcome to interviews with the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress."

　　See each other across the cloud, and the intensity of information release is unabated.

In 2020, China will coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, complete the arduous task of eradicating absolute poverty, and become the only economy in the world to achieve positive growth. In 2021, China will usher in the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Create a new engine for development at a new historical starting point.

　　Whether it is the "past year" or "the year ahead", China's development trends have attracted much attention from the outside world.

In more than one hour of question and answer, Zhang Yesui responded to the Chinese and foreign media several times.

　　- Last year, China provided vaccines to many countries and won wide acclaim from the international community, but the noise of linking this move to geopolitics also appeared from time to time.

At the meeting, Zhang Yesui cited multiple data in response.

"Nothing is more important than the safety and health of human life. China's international anti-epidemic cooperation is not for the pursuit of geopolitical goals, and it never attaches any political conditions."

　　——When China's poverty alleviation battle is fully victorious, how to effectively consolidate the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization?

Zhang Yesui said frankly that China still has a long way to go to solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development and narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas. Next, it will focus on maintaining the overall stability of the main assistance policies, strengthening the monitoring of the population prone to return to poverty and preventing large-scale return to poverty. Bottom line.

　　——When asked by reporters about the Sino-U.S. relations during the Biden administration, Zhang Yesui, the former Chinese ambassador to the United States, said bluntly that it is normal for China and the United States to have differences on some issues. Conflict and confrontation are not in the interests of any party.

　　Regarding the defense budget, foreign economic and trade cooperation and other related issues, Zhang Yesui on the other end of the screen responded one by one that night.

　　It was almost 11 o'clock at night when the conference ended.

After the meeting, many reporters and staff took photos in front of the big screen. The three screens of "one big and two small" have become a special symbol of China's information disclosure under the epidemic.

　　Under the curtain of the night, a press conference as scheduled became a window for the outside world to learn more about China's major political regular meetings; in March, Beijing, a press conference as scheduled, interpreting China's confidence and confidence in overcoming difficulties and obstacles and embracing a new journey .
