In March, China's capital, Beijing, enters its busy political season as the "two sessions" get underway.
The "two sessions" are the annual meetings of China's national legislature and top political advisory body.
Let's review some basic facts about the "two sessions".
The "two sessions" are usually held once every year.
The history of China's top political advisory body dates back 70 years and its first top legislature convened in 1954.
In the early years, the sessions were not held annually, however they have been held on a yearly basis since 1978, the year China launched reform and opening-up.
The "two sessions" referred to the meetings of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Accordingly, the term "two sessions" was formed.
The NPC is the highest organ of state power, the CPPCC is china's top political advisory body.
