Fu Xiaoqin, a newly-elected deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, dries tea leaves in the Lingtou tea factory of state-owned Wushi farm in south China's Hainan Province, Feb. 24, 2018. She said that open development makes people's living conditions greatly improved. She hopes that her tea products would win popularity in the world. China's annual political sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are scheduled to convene in March, 2018. During the two sessions, development agendas will be reviewed and discussed, and key policies will be adopted. Year 2018 marks the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which vowed to pursue the vision of innovative, coordinated, green, and open development that is for everyone. Openness brings progress, while self-seclusion leaves one behind. The CPC congress made clear that China will not close its door to the world and it will only become more and more open.
