China's economy while addressing the annual
session of the National People's Congress.
The plan includes increased spending on
developing advanced technology, fortifying

Those bonds would be used to
implement "major national strategies"
and boost security "in key areas.".
The plans also include a "new development model"

Last week, workers held sit-in
protests at Google's offices in both
New York and Sunnyvale, California.
The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers
