For China's two sessions, US expert sees focus on GDP growth

China's annual "two sessions" will be held in Beijing this weekend, the parliamentary meetings are convened by China's two main political bodies, the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

The two sessions outline China's policies on the economy, trade, environment, diplomacy and military, with much attention paid to how macroeconomic indicators are set.

Sourabh Gupta, a senior fellow at the Institute for China-America Studies, told China Daily ahead of the two sessions that this could be a year of robust growth for China's economy.
