Yao to present proposal

Retired Chinese basketball great Yao Ming has confirmed he will put forward a proposal at the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference next month.

The CPPCC sessions will be held in Beijing from March 3. It will be Yao's first time attending the conference as a member of the CPPCC National Committee.

"I'm still working on the proposal. I feel great responsibilities upon me," the former Houston Rocket told Xinhua News Agency on Tuesday.
