In this Saturday, March 5, 2016 photo, ethnic minority delegates arrive at the Great Hall of the People before the opening session of the National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing. Unlike legislatures elsewhere, China's does little in the way of legislating, is carefully stage-managed and allows no foreign leader to address it.

Security during the meeting is ratcheted up nationwide, but especially in Beijing, where out of town petitioners are cleared out and paramilitary guards are posted throughout city. Saturday's opening session at the Great Hall of the People in the heart of Beijing was swathed in multiple layers of security, starting with bag checks in the subway and an additional checkpoint just to look onto the square.
