The first session of the 14th NPC was held between 5–13 March 2023. A preparatory meeting was held on 3 March, presided by outgoing NPC Standing Committee chairman Li Zhanshu. During the session, Zhao Leji succeeded Li Zhanshu as the NPCSC chairman, while Xi Jinping was granted an unprecedented third term as president. Han Zheng succeeded Wang Qishan as vice president, while Li Qiang was appointed as the premier succeeding Li Keqiang.

The second session of the NPC began on 5 March 2024 and ended on 11 March. The event was held largely without COVID restrictions for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. On 4 March, the NPC spokesperson Lou Qinjian said Premier Li Qiang won't hold the annual press conferences for the remaining term of China's parliament, which ends in 2027, ending a tradition maintained for three decades.

The third session of the NPC was held between 5 March 2025 and 11 March 2025. Premier Li Qiang announced a 5% GDP growth target and the highest fiscal deficit in 30 years to mitigate the effects of the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. NPCSC Chairman Zhao Leji missed the end of the NPC session, but was spotted in public again despite concerns about his whereabouts.
