The right attitude for a deputy to People's Congress is to be persistent in demanding concrete answers from government bodies over unsolved bills, says an article on the website of Xinhua News Agency. The following is an excerpt:
A question put before a local People's Congress in Shanghai regarding the toll collection on a section of a highway has not been answered for more than 11 years.
Zhang Deqi, a deputy to Shanghai municipal People's Congress, pushed hard for an answer from the city government regulators at this year's sessions of the People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
