The Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has determined the dates of the 2nd Plenum of the CPC Central Committee

The 2nd plenum of the CPC Central Committee of the 20th convocation will be held in Beijing from February 26 to 28.

The decision was made at a meeting of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, which was chaired by Secretary General Xi Jinping.

The meeting also discussed a report to the Central Committee on the work of the Politburo, a draft plan for reforming party and state bodies and a list of proposed candidates for leadership positions in state bodies and the National Committee of the People's Political Consultative Council of China.

The participants of the meeting noted that over the past 5 years, China has successfully coped with various risks and challenges, effectively coordinated the prevention and control of the epidemic with socio-economic development, won the fight against poverty and created a society of average prosperity. The meeting also called for promoting Chinese-style modernization, promoting high-quality development, deepening reforms and openness, and consistently improving the standard of living of the population.

The expert called the recovery of China's economy a positive phenomenon for the global economy

A change in China's policy towards COVID-19 will help its economic recovery, especially in the areas of consumption and services. This was told by Louis Kuys, chief economist for the Asia–Pacific region of a large American analytical company. He also stressed that the recovery of China's economy will be a positive phenomenon for the global market, as growth is slowing in the United States and Europe this year.

Louis Kuys, Chief Economist at S&P Global Ratings for the Asia-Pacific region: "The service sector will grow thanks to the restoration of communications.

After the removal of covid restrictions, people go out again, visit restaurants, travel, have fun. That is why, in my opinion, the service sector will be among the leaders in growth this year. And these positive changes will have an impact on the Chinese economy as a whole – growth of 5% is currently forecast."

The expert also noted that the increase in inflation, which always accompanies increased demand and the recovery of the labor market, will be less noticeable in China than in Europe and the United States.

About 600 companies have registered to participate in the Sixth Chinese Import Expo

About 600 companies have already registered for the sixth Chinese International Import Expo, which will be held in November. The organizing committee of the exhibition included representatives of large foreign companies operating in China.

Zhao Bindi, President of the Panasonic Branch in China: "The introduction of "green technologies" in the production of household appliances and furniture is extremely important for the implementation of the goals of reducing emissions of harmful substances and achieving carbon neutrality.

More than 80% of household appliances are manufactured in China, and about a third of the world's carbon emissions are accounted for in this area. It is a great honor for us to become the chairman of the Committee on Eco-Friendly and Intelligent Household Goods, and we will make every effort to implement plans for seminars, discussions and other events within the framework of the exhibition."

Ruan Linjuan, Vice President of IKEA Branch in China: "It is a great honor for us to become the vice-chairman of the Committee on Eco-friendly and Intelligent Household Goods this year.

This will help demonstrate our commitment to the principles of sustainable development and eco-friendly consumption. We hope to use this opportunity to collaborate with other industry leaders in promoting the idea of "green" development in China. We have been participating in Expo for 5 years, but we are always looking forward to this exhibition to present our new products."

The organizers of the Chinese International Exhibition of Imported Goods reported that this year the pavilions of the exhibitors will occupy an area of about 200 thousand square meters.

The Olympic stadium "Ice Ribbon" has become a popular holiday destination for residents of Beijing

A year ago, participants of the Olympic Games performed at the Ice Ribbon Stadium in Beijing. And now it is a training base for the Chinese national speed skating team and a popular holiday destination for ice skating enthusiasts.

Zhou Yuanbo, speed skater: "The ice here is beyond praise.

I come here three times a week."

A visitor to the Ice Ribbon skating stadium "The building itself is very beautiful: it looks like ice ribbons laid layer by layer.

And it's very cool inside! This place is very different from other ice rinks. And the ice surface here is very smooth."

Last year, the skating rink was opened to everyone. Since then, the stadium has been visited by more than 200 thousand people.

Cheng Shujie, Deputy General Manager of the National Skating Stadium: "The National Skating Stadium is a comprehensive sports center that combines many functions.

Sports events and even exhibitions are held here."

There are always a lot of visitors at the Ice Ribbon stadium, which means that the interest of the country's residents in winter sports is growing. Since 2015, when Beijing was announced as the venue for the Olympics, more than 345 million people have been engaged in snow and ice sports.
