CPPCC to broaden outlook again next year

China will select more than 2,000 new members next year for its top advisory body, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

The members, who are drawn from all walks of life, serve a term of five years, during which they are encouraged to share suggestions with policymakers.

While some of the current 2,200 members will be reselected when the body convenes in Beijing in March next year, there will also be many new faces.
