The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will kick off on 4th March and the National People's Congress (NPC) will kick off on 5th March in Beijing.

2026 marks the starting year of the 15th Five-Years Plan, it’s expected to review and draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development during the two sessions.
