At villages, communities and enterprises, he talked with deputies to people's congresses and locals, and noted that the deputies come from the people and have their roots among the people, asking them to give full play to the mechanisms and platforms for contacting the people.
The system of people's congresses is an important institutional carrier for whole-process people's democracy, Zhao said, urging people's congresses to continue to follow a people-centered approach, fully draw on the people's opinion and wisdom, and safeguard the people's rights and interests and improve their wellbeing.
