System of Regular Contact of Deputies with the People
According to the Law on the Deputies to the National People's Congress and the Local People's Congresses at All Levels, all deputies should maintain close contact with the general public to understand their views and wishes, benefit from public insights, and accept the scrutiny of the people. When the people's congresses are not in session, the deputies will take part in activities organized for them to learn about and convey the views and requests of the constituencies or organizations that have elected them. This shall help them better serve the people as the bond that links the Party and the state with the people.
The deputies are obliged to explain to the people the Party's guidelines, principles, and policies; the Constitution, laws, and regulations; and the resolutions and decisions of the people's congresses at their respective levels and their standing committees, and learn how these are implemented at the grassroots. They also take into account the views and suggestions of the general public about the state organs and their functionaries and the needs of the constituencies or organizations that have elected them, which will prepare them for deliberating the proposals and reports during the sessions of the people's congresses, and for submitting their proposals, criticisms, and views to the sessions. In line with the legislative and supervisory plans of the said people's congresses and their standing committees, these deputies will collect the views and suggestions of the staff of their own work units and industries and the general public and make preparations for attending the meetings of the said standing committees in a non-voting capacity, inspecting law enforcement, and conducting legislative research.
