REVIEWING CHINA'S TWO SESSIONS

A Show that Left Much to be Desired

The 2024 Two Sessions began on March 4th with opening of the session for the CPPCC, while the NPC opened on March 5th. The show for 2024, however, left much to be desired with Xi Jinping planning for longevity of Party rule at the continued expense of China’s democratic centralism while continuing breaking from tradition in more aspects than one. This year’s Two Sessions were first looks of what the future of NPC deliberations will look like, with the government-led event also becoming one that will focus on all things Party.

THE MISSING GAPS OF SINO-PACIFIC ISLANDS RELATIONS

Pacific Geopolitical Maneuverings

In the past few years, bullish visions of China’s regional aspirations have dissipated as its own domestic economic realities have become clear. There has been a significant fall in China’s development spending in the Pacific since 2016. Observers have noted that this is linked to a decrease in Chinese loans across the region, although this has also been a global phenomenon. Expectations around the BRI in the Pacific have also been tempered as various projects have stalled with commentators observing that “half-finished Chinese skyscrapers stand in disrepair” in various Pacific Island countries.
