By Tessa WongBBC News, Asia Digital Reporter
Xi Jinping is set to deepen his control of China's government and economy, as lawmakers meet in Beijing to pass far-reaching reforms.
The National People's Congress (NPC), a rubber-stamp parliament, will confirm Mr Xi's third term as president, and the appointments of his top team.
They will also name a new premier, the second-in-command after Mr Xi, as the incumbent Li Keqiang departs.
The Two Sessions, as the meetings are known, are an annual affair.
But this year's sessions are particularly significant as delegates are expected to reshape several key Communist Party and state institutions.
They will also tighten control over bodies overseeing the finance sector and scientific and technology work, while " strengthening party-building work" in private businesses, according to state media.
The moves will likely further blur the lines between the Chinese Communist Party and the government, and consolidate The Party 's control of the Private Sector .
This comes amid an ongoing corruption crackdown which has seen a string of high-profile businessmen disappear in recent years. The latest person to go missing was in the tech sector.

Mr Xi's appointment comes as he faces domestic pressure to Turn Around an economy battered by his zero-Covid strategy and crackdowns in various business sectors.

Abroad, Mr Xi is navigating worsening ties with the US over the Ukraine war and the recent spy balloon saga, even as he warms his embrace of Russian leader Vladimir Putin .
The NPC will also unveil the new Premier, China's equivalent of a Prime Minister who traditionally oversees the economy and administrative aspects of governance.
Li Qiang , one of Mr Xi's most trusted colleagues, is expected to assume The Role . As the Shanghai party secretary, he oversaw a prolonged and painful Covid lockdown that angered locals and made international headlines.
Outgoing premier Li Keqiang , who was ousted in The Leadership reshuffle at October's party congress, will deliver his last work report speech.
The political appointments for the rest of the Politburo Standing Committee, the equivalent of Mr Xi's cabinet, will also be announced.

Observers say The Team was picked more for their loyalty to Mr Xi and The Party , rather than for their expertise.
