China’s annual “Two Sessions,” known as the “Lianghui” is a political event comprised of the annual meetings of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Thousands of delegates from across China gather to review the accomplishments of the previous year, deliver policy announcements, and confirm the list of proposed candidates for senior government appointments. This year’s Two Sessions lasted for 10 days; the CPPCC meeting began on March 4 and ended on March 11, and the NPC held its opening meeting on March 5 and concluded the session on March 13. 
The 2023 Two Sessions, the first political gathering to be held since Xi Jinping secured his third term as China’s president, cemented the CPC senior officials’ positions within the government and concluded organizational overhaul, which all marked the final formalization of Xi Jinping’s precedent-busting third term as China’s leader. While the Two Sessions have traditionally been arranged to set forth the country’s economic and political direction for the upcoming year, the Chinese leadership in a rare move highlighted an increasingly volatile and uncertain external environment surrounding China at the 20th Party Congress held in 2022. Given the Party’s bleak assessments of China’s external environment, it is important to reflect on the outcomes of this year’s gathering and take a look at how they might affect and shape China’s foreign policy and national security strategies in the coming years.
