China's rise is not just a national phenomenon; it's reshaping the global landscape, particularly across the Global South. At the heart of this transformation are the Two Sessions, annual gatherings in Beijing that serve as China's top legislative and political events.
These sessions bring together representatives from all walks of life—from sanitation workers to movie stars—ensuring that the voices of 1.4 billion people are heard in the decision-making process. This diverse assembly exemplifies China's unique system of whole-process people's democracy, where policy shaping is a collective effort.
During the Two Sessions, various sectors discuss and propose policies that address both domestic challenges and international collaborations. By incorporating perspectives from different professions and regions, China aims to create comprehensive and inclusive policies that drive sustainable growth and strengthen its global partnerships.
This inclusive approach not only fosters domestic unity but also enhances China's influence in the Global South, where many countries are looking to collaborate on economic and infrastructural projects. As China continues to host the Two Sessions, it sets the stage for a governance model that emphasizes widespread participation and holistic policy development.
