China convened the annual meeting of its two-largest political bodies... to chart the nation's policy direction for the coming year.
The country's foremost political advisory body,… the People's Political Consultative Conference... kicked off its nearly two week-long meeting on Sunday in Beijing.
Some 3-thousand delegates from around the country will gather at the Great Hall of the People... for the largely rubber-stamp legislative sessions.
The National People's Congress then opens on Tuesday... with an annual 'work report' by Premier Li Keqiang,… to outline key economic goals.
According to some experts,… China may set a lower economic growth target in 2019 compared to last year's 6-point-5 percent... as Beijing grapples with U.S. tariffs and weak domestic demand.
