　　While the world is stunned by a chaotic Oval Office confrontation between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the weekend—a dramatic scene rarely made public in the history of modern diplomacy—China is quietly preparing for its biggest annual political event: the two sessions.

　　This year's two sessions—a term for the annual meetings of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the top political advisory body—will officially kick off on Tuesday, with more than 5,000 participants.

　　Due to the scale and significance of the two sessions, it is usually a closely-watched event, not only in China but also around the world. Official figures show that more than 3,000 reporters have registered to cover this year's two sessions, about one-third of whom are from overseas.

　　So, what should we watch for in this year's two sessions, apart from some routine schedules? I believe this year's event will not only epitomize China's unique model of whole-process people's democracy, but also serve as a powerful testament to the nation's resilience, innovation and cultural vitality.

　　Against a backdrop of geopolitical fragmentation and economic volatility, China is poised to deliver a message of confidence and unity.

　　First, the democracy. The two sessions are a vibrant showcase of China's democratic ethos, where more than 5,000 NPC deputies and members of the CPPCC National Committee from all across the country and diverse sectors converge to shape national policies.
