Press Conference of the Premier of the State Council,also known as the "Premier's Q&A with Journalists", is a meeting held by the Premier of the State Council, who serves as the Head of government of the People's Republic of China, with both domestic and foreign journalists.[1] The Premier's press conference started in 1988 when Premier Li Peng accepted an invitation from the spokesperson of the 7th National People's Congress, Zeng Tao, to meet with journalists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and foreign countries.[2]
After 1993, the Premier's press conference tended towards normalization. [3] When Zhu Rongji became Premier in 1998, the press conference became a focal point of the National People's Congress sessions, and its duration extended to two to two and a half hours. [4]During the tenures of Wen Jiabao and Li Keqiang as Premier of the State Council, a press conference was held each year after the closing of the National People's Congress sessions. When Li Qiang became Premier in 2023, only one press conference was held that year. Starting from 2024, it was officially announced that, barring special circumstances, there would no longer be Premier's press conferences in the years following the current National People's Congress session.[5]

On May 28, 2020, Premier Li Keqiang attended the press conference following the conclusion of the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress.[22]During the conference, he disclosed that currently in China, around 600 million people have a monthly income of only about 1000 yuan. [23] This statement sparked widespread controversy, especially considering that 2020 was designated by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, as the year to eradicate poverty.[24][25]。
