The fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress will open on the morning of March 5 and close on the morning of March 11, with a duration of 6.5 days.
There are 10 items on the agenda of the conference.
At present, all preparations for the conference have been completed.
A country is democratic or not, and practice is the most convincing
There are two key words for people's democracy in the whole process: one is "people's democracy" and the other is "whole process".
In the whole process of China's development of people's democracy, there is not only a complete system and procedures, but also a complete participatory practice.
Democracy is not a decoration, it is not used for decoration, but it is used to solve the problems that the people need to solve.
A country is not democratic, its practice is the most persuasive, and the people of this country have the most say.
Practice has proved that the socialist democratic political system with Chinese characteristics is a real and effective democracy rooted in Chinese history and culture, in line with China's national conditions, and in solving China's problems.
Over 1 billion voters participate in the general election of county and township people's congresses
According to the data of the last general election, there are 2.623 million deputies to people's congresses at all levels in China, including 2.478 million deputies at county and township levels, accounting for 94.5% of the total number of deputies.
Since the reform and opening up, China has held 12 township-level people's congress elections and 11 county-level people's congress elections, and the voter participation rate is around 90%.
At present, the national county and township level elections for the National People's Congress are drawing to a close, with more than 1 billion voters participating in the election.

Using China as a strategic competitor will only undermine Sino-US mutual trust and cooperation
Regarding the competition bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to emphasize that how the U.S. improves its competitiveness, including its chip R&D and manufacturing capabilities, is its own business.
However, using China's development as an excuse to treat China as a strategic competitor will only undermine the mutual trust and cooperation between China and the United States, and will certainly harm the self-interest of the United States.
Drawing lines with ideology, pulling "small circles" and engaging in group confrontation are all contrary to the development trend of the times, and they are not feasible at all.
China's anti-foreign sanctions law is essentially different from the "unilateral sanctions" of some countries
China's Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law is a highly directional and targeted special law, with the word "anti" highlighted.
China does not cause trouble, but it is not afraid of trouble.
With regard to those bullying acts who are wielding sanctions at every turn, China has firmly safeguarded national sovereignty, security, and development interests through legal means such as the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, and protected the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and organizations.
China's Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law is a defensive measure in response to containment and suppression, which is fundamentally different from the "unilateral sanctions" of some countries.
I hope the EU will not raise the issue of neutrality to the level of China-EU relations
Lithuania is responsible for the problems that arise in the current China-Lithuania relations.
In international trade, China has always advocated respecting the rules of the WTO, creating a fair and competitive market environment, never discriminating against any country or any enterprise, and there is no so-called "economic coercion" problem.
Regarding the EU's lawsuit at the WTO, we do not think it is constructive.
We hope that the EU will take an objective and fair stance and not expand the issue of neutrality or elevate it to the level of China-EU relations.

"Dynamic clearing" of epidemic prevention and control is not the pursuit of zero infection
The goal of the "dynamic clearing" approach is to achieve maximum results at the least cost through fast and accurate full-chain prevention and control measures. It is not to pursue "zero infection", but to control the epidemic as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that the "dynamic clearing" approach is in line with China's actual situation, the approach is correct, and the effect is good.
China is one of the most successful countries in the world in terms of epidemic prevention, no matter in terms of the number of confirmed cases and deaths, or in terms of economic development.
China has provided over 2.1 billion doses of vaccines to the world and will continue to adhere to it
So far, China has provided more than 2.1 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations, accounting for one-third of the total global vaccine use outside China, and is the country that provides the most vaccines.
Among the more than 120 countries, the vast majority are developing countries.
The vaccines provided by China have played an important role in building immune barriers and restoring social life in many developing countries, enhancing their ability, confidence and determination to fight the epidemic.
China will continue to insist that developing countries be the main partners of vaccine cooperation.
