The head of government presented his report in front of several thousand lawmakers, advisers, Chinese and foreign journalists, as well as at least a hundred ambassadors of foreign countries. Li Qiang's performance lasted 2 hours.
Summing up the results of 2024, Li Qiang noted the undoubted successes in strengthening China's overall power and modernizing its economy (the main goals and objectives of socio-economic development planned for 2024 have been fulfilled). He also mentioned problematic issues that are not always dependent on China itself.
Li Qiang warned that China could face even more serious problems in trade, science and other fields in the future. From the point of view of the international situation, changes in the world that have not been seen in the last 100 years are accelerating, the external environment is becoming more complex and harsh, which could threaten the country with more serious blows in areas such as trade, science, technology and others, he noted.
