BEIJING - For many journalists, China’s once in a year parliamentary meeting starts with a sharp-elbowed sprint up the stairs.
About 50 photographers and TV cameramen, many laden with heavy equipment, raced up the stairs at the Great Hall to battle for roughly 10 prime spots to view President Xi Jinping and the rest of his leadership team as they trooped in, and to watch the speeches. “You have nothing in your pockets, you don’t have your belt,” said Daly, who like many of the hundreds of reporters in the first wave was wearing athletic shoes and was casually dressed, in contrast to the business-attired delegates arriving at the same time.
They included the year’s GDP target for the world’s second-biggest economy, as well as the defense budget, the budget deficit target and government bond issuance quotas.The annual session of China’s National People’s Congress is labor-intensive to cover, generates few surprises and is thick with ponderous speeches and scripted answers, but with access to officials so scarce in China, it is the closest Beijing gets to a media feeding frenzy.
