The on-going First Session of the 10th National Committee of the
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's
top advisory body, has received a total of 3,668 proposals, an
official in charge said in Beijing Monday.
"By 5 p.m. Sunday, the session's deadline for accepting proposals,
we had received 3,668 proposals submitted by members of the CPPCC
National Committee in individual capacity or on behalf of their
organizations," said Huang Guoping, deputy director of the office
of the proposal handling division under the CPPCC National
Committee.
The proposals cover a wide range of issues, which include national
economic construction, urban and rural development, environmental
protection, social security, employment, social credibility and the
widening income gap, said Huang.
"In general, an overwhelming majority of the proposals focus on one
central theme. All CPPCC members who submitted proposals have
displayed an earnest and sincere attitude, and many of their
proposals are highly scientific and feasible, " Huang noted.
As
the 10th CPPCC National Committee has many new members, the
proposal handling division had sent a letter to every member prior
to the session, offering necessary advice on proposal writing, said
Huang.
"Also enclosed in the letter are excellent proposals submitted to
the previous CPPCC sessions, which a few inexperienced new members
could use as a reference," he added.
The proposals, or suggestions and reports in the written form, are
a traditional channel for the CPPCC National Committee members to
assist the government in running the State.
According to regular procedures, all proposals submitted to the
session will have to be examined and sorted out by a special
committee under the CPPCC National Committee, and then forwarded to
relevant government departments. And every proposal would be
replied timely and in an appropriate manner.
