Every March, China’s leaders, thousands of delegates and advisers
convene in Beijing for annual political meetings. They go through a
flurry of sessions and group meetings, helped along by an army of
attendants.
Photographers have been capturing the images of the politicians and deputies as they go through the expected political procedures, but there are smaller details that add interesting touches to the political machinery. Here’s a package of photos capturing the time and place of the political events at the Great Hall of People in central Beijing.
In China, the usual suspects are installed
China’s new leaders turned Saturday to veteran technocrats, many with strong international experience, to staff a Cabinet charged with overhauling a slowing economy and pursuing a higher global profile for the country without triggering opposition.The ceremonial legislature approved nearly three dozen trusted politicians, experienced officials and career diplomats who make up the State Council under Premier Li Keqiang, who was named Friday. Their appointment largely completes a once-a-decade transfer of power to a new generation of communist leaders.
