Controversy ignites fiery debate

Every March, deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) submit suggestions on behalf of the people. And almost every year, some of them become red-hot Internet celebrities after their controversial suggestions ignite fiery debates.

Some media outlets have essentially made an annual tradition of mining the controversial suggestions from the mass of proposals. And they never come up dry.

Two polemic proposals have been pushed to the frontline of public debate this year and have become hot-button issues among netizens.
