Lawmakers' thousands of proposals receive responses
A total of 9,160 suggestions raised by national lawmakers earlier this year have been fully addressed, according to a release from a work conference on the handling of the advice held in Beijing on Friday.
The suggestions were submitted by deputies to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, during the third session of the 14th NPC held in March.
After a review, the suggestions were distributed to 211 organizations for follow-up action. All have been addressed on schedule, and feedback has been provided to the deputies.
The top three areas of focus were "science, education, health, and sports," "development planning and comprehensive economy-related matters," and "social and public affairs," which together accounted for nearly half of all the suggestions, Xinhua News Agency reported in March.
