Tungamirai Eric Mupona, hailing from Zimbabwe, is a doctoral student specializing in international affairs and global governance at Zhejiang University. The 26-year-old first arrived in China in 2017 as an undergraduate student of applied physics. But over time, his interests shifted from the physical sciences to a deeper exploration of societal dynamics. In this edition of Footprints, he shares with us his observations of China’s development, particularly the annual top political meetings known in China as “Lianghui” or the “Two Sessions”.
