Working for the good of people

As China's top political advisory body, it has been an important responsibility of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee to collect and reflect real social conditions and public views. Known as the government's "think tank", the CPPCC committees at all levels, local, provincial and national, have a large numbers of members and public figures from different walks of life. Minister of Health Gao Qiang, China Construction Chairman and Board Director Guo Shuqing and actress Gong Li are some of them.

The CPPCC National Committee is an open forum where the Communist Party of China, the non-Communist parties and people with no party affiliations discuss State affairs freely and on an equal footing. It is indeed a manifestation of China's socialist democracy.

Since March last year, political consultants have raised 5,158 proposals, with more than 98 percent of them getting a response from the relevant departments or being handled in line with the country's laws and regulations.
