adrian: lee chang is widely expected to replace the outgoing premier.t is his relationship with xi jinping and how will things differ with him in that role compared to his predecessor? andy: well, i think we can expect significant differences. one of course because there is a new person in the job, but also as shirley alluded to, there are important structural reforms going on, not only within the government -- to emphasize science, technology, intellectual property protection, data as a fact of production -- but there is also a greater integration between the party and the government. so for those two reasons, i think we can expect some meaningful changes in the role of the premiere, in the role of state council and the government. but we also have to recognize that because of the leading role of the cpc, that chang is number two on the standing committee, which is the highest level of leadership in the parting. it so i think for these reasons, and of course is decades along close relationship, working very closely with xi, could mean that there is muc

washington comes after the nations set its lowest g d p target in decades outgoing chinese premier lee could chang announced a g d p target of judge 5 percent. so this year, at the opening of the national people's congress, lee said the government aims to create around $12000000.00 urban jobs, keep the unemployment rate at around 5 and a half percent, and boost the defense budget by more than 70 percent. he's also vowed to support privately owned businesses and encourage foreign investment. china's g d p expanded by just 3 percent last year. well, short of the official target of around 5.5 percent. but the economy appears to be rebounding strongly after the pandemic manufacturing activity in february, for example, expanded at the fastest face in more than a decade. however, chinese officials warned of risks ahead. the u. s. as imposed several restrictions on china's access to high end technology over the past few months. but a new report by the australian strategic policy institute found that beijing leaves the world in $37.00 out of $44.00 critical technologies, and is in a position to become the

lee chang, this during a session of the national parliament in beijing. i. mr. chang is said to be a close conference you phase of its 1900, and also pandemic prevention policy. it's in a new phase now to many people are really expecting to see what the country will be having to. it's coming out of the face, especially we are seeing some booming numbers here in terms of the china spring festival travel. russia as well as the film industry is such a strong indicator that chinese people have the power of spending. but how were the country really coming out of such challenging period in terms of how business are recovering, how the big enterprises are recovery, as well as what kind of policy that will be helping them. for example, for major industry to really catch on to the momentum putting had said that chinese president, she's drinking, has really made major contribution into further enhanced by letter and strategic partnership between china and russia. and this is what we're seeing here. china is not only focusing on buy, let a relationship, but also for exa
