AThousands of delegates from all over China arrive in Beijing this week to participate in the annual parliamentary session, there is barely a mood in the capital. Although few ordinary Chinese pay a lot of attention to the great hall of the people, the majestic modernist building in the fifties that is the western edge of the Tiananmen Square, can feel the effects of this week’s ripples throughout the city.
Security increases. Additional employees of the uniforms were published to find out the Bridges of Beijing – fearing that anyone will try a trick inspired by the Peng LIFA protest at Sitong Bridge before the 2022 Conference in 2022.
Virtual private networks – applications used in the tunnel via the Internet control wall – slow down, as the authorities try to tighten their grip on exchanging information with the outside world. It is necessary for the Communist Party that the parallel sessions of the “Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese People”, which are a consulting body, and the National People’s Conference (NPC), the rubber parliament of China, smoothly. Together, meetings are known as the two sessions, and the most important annual event is in the political evaluation in China.
From Beijing, the outside world appears to be in a state of flow. China’s demand to be a beacon of stability in a chaotic world is strengthened by events. The presidents of the United States and Ukraine circulate verbal strikes directly on TV; The US -backed ceasefire deal in Gaza on the brink of collapse.
China, with the exception of some major addresses about the definitions, remains outside the news. The same definitions are far from public awareness, although China is expected to impose another round of counter -measures on the United States on Tuesday, after Donald Trump threatened Bijin with an additional duty of 10 %.
Wang Zishn, a 18 -year -old sales representative working in Choiang County in Beijing, said. The United States and China “faces some problems and needs to solve … [the US] It is a friendly country.
China was supposed to return from the epidemic as consumer spending was launched, but most people on the street agreed that it did not happen. Real estate prices decrease. Millennial generation and GEN-Z workers are struggling to find work and even middle-aged people, including people who have their young children, sit at home without jobs. They, like young generations, are Tang, Or “flat lying”: choosing negativity in a society that does not feel that it is rewarding hard work. Even young fathers talk about him Kenlaw, Or “eating old” – living off their elders who have healthy government pensions.
This type of economic nihilism is exactly what Beijing wants to fight. High -level NPC agenda this week will be financial stimulation. In December, the Central Economic Labor Conference, a session of economic planning held by CCP, confirmed the need to stimulate consumption and stability of economic growth.
When Chinese Prime Minister Lee Qiang delivers the government action report at the opening session of NPC on Wednesday, analysts will closely monitor the goal of the GDP of 2025, which is expected to be 5 %, and for details about the trends set by CCP at the end of last year.
With the launch of the first footage of the US -Chinese trade war since the December meeting, Beijing has been under pressure to find ways to protect its economy from the impact of definitions. In 2024, the Chinese economy reached its GDP goal with the help of a boom at the end of the year. Exports to the United States in December increased by 15.6 %. With the tariffs of definitions on the list, the economic growth based on exports will be more difficult in 2025.
The economic boom in China was built on the infrastructure and policies that have given the priority of GDP growth above all. Then it turned into manufacturing, becoming the “world factory”. Chinese leaders now want to direct the economy towards “new quality production powers”, a phrase formulated by the leader of China, Xi Jinping, in 2023. This means focusing on investing in the innovation and high technology sectors.
In 2025, this means Deepseek. The Chinese company AI took the world’s artificial intelligence through the storm in January when it released a model of artificial intelligence to the time of venting prominent American competitors, apparently in a small part of the cost. Deepseek for the first time scanned record records of US dollars off US technology shares, where investors have prepared them from the revelation that the United States may not retain its pioneering position in artificial intelligence for a much longer period.
Deepseek, a special research company that was transferred by a hedge man named Liang Wenfeng, has succeeded without state support. But the state has since embraced Liang and his company. Last month, Xi held a rare personal meeting with technology leaders in Beijing, with Liang According to what was present present.
While Liang burns his prayers in the capital, his company is everywhere. BAIDU technology giant integrates Deepseek with its Great Language Model, Ernie, with Deepseek already integrated into Baidu applications. Beijing passengers consult Chatbot Deepseek while they wander around the crowded metro vehicles.
Western diplomats reported that Chinese officials mention the potential of Dibsic at every possible opportunity. Senzhen, the Southern Technology Center in China, has started using Deepseek in the agent of Amnesty International, and claims to have increased efficiency by 50 % as a result.
There is no doubt about Rabie in the move of Chinese policy makers assigned to promote “new production powers”. The delegates will have to two sessions this week to hope that this optimism will spread in the paths of power in the streets of Beijing and beyond.
