The 10-day annual meeting of the Fourth Session of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) completed all items on the agenda and came to a victorious close on Sunday, March 13. The People's Daily, the leading national newspaper in China, has published on Monday an editorial to mark the occasion and its excerpts read as follows:

Titled "Jointly Write a Splendid Chapter on Scientific Development", the editorial cites the just-concluded CPPCC annual meeting as a conference of vital importance, which has made new, eminent achievements. During the conference, Chinese President Hu Jintao and other Party and state leaders called on CPPCC National Committee members and respectively joined their panel discussions in mulling or deliberating national affairs together.

The editorial hails the attainments of the political advisory body in 2010, saying that the CPPCC National Committee and its members had made vital contributions when the country grappled with various challenges to boost sound and fast social and economic development. "We must be more willing or ready to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), unswervingly keep to the political development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to push forward the cause of the CPPCC," it said.

On Premier Wen Jiabao's Report on the Work of the Government", the CPPCC members referred to it as a report of confidence building, and of great inspiration and cohesion. The members are unanimous in the view that the 12th Five-Year Plan maps out the blueprint for the next five years (2011-2015), reflects China's ongoing reform and development trend, and is a solemn commitment the CPC Central Commitment and the Chinese government has made to the people of all ethnicities across China.

During the CPPCC annual session, more than 2,000 CPPCC members have carried out to the full their functions of political consultation, democratic supervision and participation in deliberation and administration of state affairs in the economic and social development. And this has displayed the vis and vigor of the CPPCC organization and its democratic functions.

With respect to the 12th Five-Year Plan period, CPPCC National Committee members have carried out assiduously and conscientiously the major policy decisions made by the Party Central Committee, adhere to the two themes of "national unity and democracy", and contributed positively in an effort to do good, happy things and coping with tough, difficult issues.
