The Great Hall of the People is the home to the People's Congress of China.  Once a year the governors from all of the provinces come to Beijing and meet here to discuss central Government issues.

This year's meeting was going on while we were there and every day the English newspaper covered their discussions.  Main topics of discussion were  Social Security, human rights and economic policy (sound familiar?).
