A delegate sleeps as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao speaks inside the Great Hall of the People at the start of the annual session of China's Parliament in Beijing, March 5.
Wen opened the session in front of nearly 3,000 delegates with a call for more sustainable economic growth and delivered an annual work report that focused on fine-tuning China's economy, which is roaring ahead but at huge environmental and social costs as controversy flared again over the nation's fast-rising military budget.
