Abstract

Contributing to China’s regime of truth (Foucault in The Foucault reader: An introduction to Foucault’s thought. Penguin, London, pp. 51–75, 1984), the interpreter-mediated and televised Premier-Meets-the-Press Conferences are an annual discursive event held in the Chinese capital Beijing during China’s annual two sessions, that is, the National People’s Congress (NPC) and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Without doubt, the discourse articulated by China’s top leadership on such a high-profile occasion represents China’s official and most authoritative take on various domestic and global issues.
