Although China's ongoing two sessions have been filled with heavy political and economic policy-led discussions, the use of interactive new media, such as smartphones, wireless Internet connections and social media, has helped reporting on the annual meetings become more interesting, while bringing the two sessions closer to the general public.

On Wednesday for example, TV host Cui Yongyuan - also a political adviser - from Dragon TV's new program Eyes On managed to snag an on-the-spot interview with senior Communist Party Leader Wang Qishan through the use of his smartphone and the recently popular selfie pole.

The show also collected a number of questions about the two sessions from netizens which it then set out to answer in a humorous fashion. 

Questions posed included simple things such as what the attendees had for lunch, and what type of car they drove to get to the meetings to more serious topics such as possible sports industry reform concerning soccer and improving the rule of law in China.
