The Ninth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top advisory body, has
received 17,722 proposals from its members across the country, most
of which have been dealt with or replied appropriately, a senior
CPPCC official said in Beijing Monday.
"Of the 16,281 proposals which were accepted after due examination,
98.8 percent have so far been properly dealt with or replied," said
Zhou Tienong, who, on behalf of the Ninth CPPCC National Committee,
delivered a report on the committee's proposal-handling work at the
opening meeting of the First Session of the 10th CPPCC National
Committee.
The Ninth CPPCC National Committee has a five-year term that
expires at this session.
There were 7,235 proposals concerning the country's economic
development, 4,617 on promotion of science, education, culture,
public health and sports development, as well as 4,429 regarding
political and legal affairs, the united front work and other major
issues, said Zhou.
After being sorted out, these proposals were forwarded to more than
180 related government departments, which either replied to the
proposals in an earnest and meticulous manner or took them as
priority references in the decision-making process, he added.
By
revealing social problems, conveying public complaints and
submitting suggestions in their proposals, he noted, the CPPCC
National Committee members have contributed significantly to
China's economic growth, political and cultural development and the
cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland.
"This has once again amply proved that the submission of proposals
is the most direct and effective way for the CPPCC to assist the
government in administering the state," Zhou said.
