Deepening reform was the main focus for China's political advisers at the annual session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's 12th National Committee, China's top political advisory body, which concluded on Wednesday in Beijing.
Deputies at the ongoing two sessions called on the government to establish a system for compensating residents who make a contribution to the nation's ecology.
Legislation is the turf of the people's congress, so how can the political advisory body play a part in lawmaking?
Editor's Note: With an expanding group of super-rich in the world's second largest economy, a growing number of billionaires have emerged in China's political arena. As a major part of the country's political institution, the National People's Congress, the top legislature, and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, the top political advisory body, have more than 100 billionaire representatives who are on the Hurun China Rich List. How do they play their role in politics? What do they think of policies that may affect their business?

Top leaders in Hebei believe the province will benefit from economic coordination in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, while accommodating more people to ease pressure on infrastructure and services in the two municipalities.
The building of an integrated economic zone around Bohai Bay may bring huge benefits to the region but will also require intensive effort, said Tianjin's vice-mayor.
