National People's Congress to meet

The nearly 3,000-member National People's Congress will convene for its annual meeting tomorrow at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The body is largely a rubber stamp, though there have been moves to give it more oversight as part of President Xi Jinping's pledge to promote the "rule of law". The highlight will be a report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang on China's economic growth targets and the closely watched defence budget.
