Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will address his nation on the coronavirus, economy and other high-stakes issues on Friday to kick off an annual legislative session in the shadow of the global pandemic.
Li's annual "work report" is China's answer to the US "state of the union" address and comes with China still recovering from the Covid-19 outbreak that erupted on its soil, paralysing the world's second-biggest economy and sparking global criticism.
The speech before 3,000 delegates to the National People's Congress (NPC) begins shortly after 9:00am (5am, UAE) in Beijing's cavernous Great Hall of the People, and is closely watched for new policy developments.
Topping the national agenda is the coronavirus, which has presented paramount leader Xi Jinping with the biggest challenge of his political career and sent US-China tensions spiralling to new heights.
US President Donald Trump again castigated Beijing on Wednesday, saying it was responsible for "mass Worldwide killing" as a result of its handling of the pandemic, which emerged from the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.
Since then, China's official case numbers have dwindled even as millions were sickened abroad, with Beijing now positioning itself as a success story that proves the superiority of China's authoritarian system.
The premier's speech also typically includes the government's annual growth target and hints on stimulus measures for China's economy, a vital piston in the global economic engine.
