Journalists from both China and abroad are gearing up to cover the coming
sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference in Beijing, which are to open respectively on the thrid
and fifth this month.
The news centre for the two sessions is now open, with more than 2,200
journalists from China and foreign countries having registered to cover the
event.
"This year foreign journalists are paying great attention to the two
sessions. Many more have registered to report the event. And nearly 100 press
officers from foreign embassies in China have signed up to attend the sessions."
said Sun Weide, an official with the centre.
For foreign journalists, the coming sessions of the NPC and CPPCC are a good
opportunity to learn about China.
"Well our newspaper is a financial newspaper so we are mainly interested in
the progress of China's economy."
"So I think it's a good opportunity for people in Brazil to understand how
the political system and the powers work together here in China, and how the
system works."
Officials at the news centre say registration of foreign journalists is still
going on.
