A total of 383 proposals have been submitted to the First Session
of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top advisory body, by 5:00
p.m. Sunday, officials in charge of the session's preparatory work
said.
"On Sunday alone, the CPPCC members have put forward 176 proposals,
in a display of their still greater enthusiasm about serving as the
government's think tank and playing a constructive role in the
government's decision-making process," one official said.
As
usual, the CPPCC National Committee session has formed a special
panel for accepting, examining and handling all proposals. After
passing the examination, the proposals would be sorted out by
categories and stored in computer databanks, a panel worker
said.
The proposals will then be transferred to relevant government
departments, which will be held responsible for answering
complaints, resolving problems and adopting good suggestions.
Earlier on Sunday, a spokesman for the CPPCC session had told a
press conference in Beijing that the proposals so far received
showed that the CPPCC National Committee members were concerned
most about 10 major issues.
These issues include the implementation of a pro-active fiscal
policy, employment and social security, the reform of State-owned
assets management system, problems with regard to agriculture,
rural areas and farmers, the reform of fiscal and financial
systems, social credit or trustworthiness, the development of
non-public economies and protection of private properties, judicial
fairness, social distribution, and educational reform.
