Morning Clicks | Acerbic tweets and policy announcements among the highlights of NPC 2013
Humourous Twitter updates straight from the Great Hall of the People has become a National People's Congress tradition for some longtime foreign correspondents.
During his speech, Wen is expected to focus heavily on economic policy as he sets the stage for his successor Li Keqiang and incoming president Xi Jinping to take over.
Sixteen items are on the agenda for the National People's Congress (NPC) gathering, which wraps up March 17 with a speech from Li and a final Q&A.
The remainder of this week will be spent listening to work reports from the NPC standing committee, the Supreme People's Court and Procuratorate, and passing a new budget and policy direction for the coming year.
Over the weekend, delegates will appoint new heads of banks, courts and other government ministries and bodies. Plans to restructure some central government ministries will also be heard.
Tuesday, March 12, delegates get to relax, and the final stretch of rubberstamping through a long list of various political appointments continues through to March 16.
