BEIJING - People with inspired thoughts about how to improve the country are turning to micro blogs to get their message across and decision-makers are using the modern medium to find out what matters.
In the buildup to next month's plenary sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, hundreds of legislators and political advisers have opened micro blogs to solicit ideas for their proposals and motions.
According to figures provided to China Daily by the popular micro blog platform t.sina.com.cn, about 200 deputies to local and national people's congresses are "actively" micro-blogging on its platform.
