Questionable points about the Chinese "conferences"
China's two "conferences" have concluded, with the absence of a high-ranking official and other issues raising suspicions.
According to Voice of America, the National People's Congress and the Chinese Political Consultative Conference, the largest political events in China this year, concluded on March 11. The week-long conference, attended by more than 2,000 people, set economic growth targets and approved a work report, but left many unresolved issues, including political and economic policy uncertainties.
International media noted an unusual situation on the podium at the closing ceremony of the National People's Congress: Zhao Lijie, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and chairman of the National People's Congress Committee, did not attend. Li Hongzhong, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and a member of the Politburo, presided over the meeting in his place. Li Hongzhong stated that Zhao Lijie was unable to attend due to a respiratory infection.
This explanation has raised suspicions in the international community about internal conflicts among Chinese officials, especially since the health status of high-ranking Chinese officials is considered confidential and rarely disclosed.
Chinese media also reported that Zhao Lijie did not attend the closing ceremony of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held on Monday, nor the third meeting of the Presidium of the National People's Congress (NPC), without providing any explanation.
According to Reuters, the absence of the 68-year-old Zhao Lijie from such an important meeting this year, along with other Standing Committee members, is the first of its kind in more than 20 years.
Chinese political analysts noted that the absence of the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress from the most important meeting of the year is unusual, and that such a situation is rare.
