BEIJING -- China's National People's Congress opened here Tuesday morning with Premier Li Qiang giving an unremarkable and notably short delivery of his first yearly government work report.
The opening ceremony began at 9 a.m., with the roughly 3,000 delegates in attendance giving a standing ovation as President Xi Jinping and the rest of China's leadership entered from the left side of the stage in the Great Hall of the People.
