People's Daily, China's national leading newspaper,
hails in an editorial the opening of the second session of the 10th
National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC), which is due to open in the national capital on
Wednesday.
??
The CPPCC National Committee, comprises representatives from
various political parties, non-party democrats and people's
organizations, participates in political consultations concerning
major state policies and key issues concerning the people's life,
supervises the works of CPC and the people's government, and makes
suggestions and criticisms.
??
The editorial, which is to be carried on Wednesday's edition,
calls for the people from all walks of life across the country to
unite and rejuvenate the Chinese nation. The year 2004, says the
editorial, is a year of crucial importance to China's reform and
development, especially for building a well-off society in an
all-round way. The CPPCC should play a more active role in
fulfilling this goal.
??
In spite of a complex, volatile international situation and a
host of arduous domestic issues such as natural disasters and
emergencies in 2003, the people of all ethnicities across China
made new achievements in reform, opening-up and modernization
program through their united efforts, says the editorial. And a
good beginning was brought about in the building of a well-off
society in a comprehensive way with sound economic development,
ethnical unity and social stability.?
