In the aftermath of COVID-19, China now begins to see an increase in work and school resumption at different stages across provinces. Shanghai’s latest update on reopening dates indicates that by 18th May most students will be able to attend school.

As the largest market in Asia for the EU and the UK, China is equally important to both. But even before the Brexit vote had taken place, the UK appeared keen to form a relationship with China that would be distinct from the EU’s. In 2015, then-prime minister David Cameron hailed the coming ‘golden era’ of UK-China relations, and photos of him drinking Greene King ale in his local pub with President Xi Jinping were widely publicised. Post-Brexit, the UK embarked on a delicate balancing act of disentangling itself from the EU, simultaneously distancing itself from certain sensitive political issues in order to advance economic ties with China, while trying to stay close to Europe on key issues.

The announcement by the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee that the postponed Two Sessions will finally take place from 22nd May, signalled China’s confidence in having brought the COVID-19 outbreak under control domestically.

One of the centrepieces of the NPC meetings is the government’s work report, in which the country’s key economic targets are normally set and major policies mapped out for the coming year. Poured over by foreign governments, China analysts and the international business community looking to understand China’s political and economic priorities, the report will come under even closer scrutiny this year given that the country is still reeling from the impact of COVID-19. With GDP growth targets now a secondary consideration, what signals will China’s leadership want to give to the Chinese people and the rest of the world?
