Li Xiaohu, a Chinese language major from the United States, said: "I didn't know much about it before, but after listening to Report on the Work of the Government from Premier Li Keqiang, I realise that issues of "Two Sessions" are closely related to our daily lives. I like China so much and I got married here. My wife is from Quanzhou and we have a lovely daughter. I am really concerned about foreigners’ employment in China. I hope I can stay and work in China, then I can become a real local!"

"I’m really interested in ‘The Belt and Road’ logistics connectivity," said Gao Pepe from Thailand." In Thailand, if my friend sends me a package, it will take about a week. But in China I never ask where my package has arrived, because things I bought online in the morning might arrive in the afternoon, so I wish China-to-Thailand packages could also be that fast."
