Rich CPPCC member kicks up storm

Zhang Yin, once ranked as China's richest woman, has ignited a heated debate at the ongoing annual session of the country's top political advisory body with three "pro-rich" proposals.

Some members of the 11th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee have criticized her for her "biased proposals".

One of the proposals of the "paper empress" seeks to amend the Labor Contract Law, which came into effect on Jan 1 this year, to exempt labor-intensive companies from signing permanent contracts with their employees who have worked for more than 10 years.
