| Abstract | Despite their weighty names, the National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are often bland affairs.

Beijing set the tone with an unprecedented move: it consulted delegates from the increasingly restive regions on political issues before the meetings began. |
