Berlin, Germany - Recent German business leaders have expressed high expectations for China's upcoming "two sessions", hoping that development plans unveiled at the meetings will inject new momentum into the global economy and further promote technological innovation, green transformation, and international cooperation. The "two sessions" are the annual meetings of China's top legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC), and the top political advisory body, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), scheduled to open on March 5 and 4, respectively. The first major issue on the agendas of the meetings is the annual growth target. The figure, set to be unveiled in the government work report at the start of the NPC session, is among the most anticipated topics every year.
