Chinese political advisors holding their annual full meeting
here have submitted more than 5,000 proposals for reference of
various government departments, sources said here on Wednesday.
The ongoing Fourth
Plenary Session of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC),?the
country's top advisory body, had received a total of 5,030
proposals from the 2,200-strong participating advisors by 5?PM
Wednesday, the deadline for proposal submission.
Most of the proposals have focused on issues inviting great
public concerns or closely relating to public interests, such as
the building of a "new socialist countryside," science and
technology innovation, development of the non-public sectors,
reform of public health system, environmental protection and
efficient use of resources, said sources with the session's
proposal-handling staffs.
Economy remains the hottest topic for the advisors, with some
44.9 percent of their proposals centering on economic issues, said
the sources.
As usual, the advisors' proposals will be examined and sorted
out by the proposal-handling staff before being referred to
relevant government departments.
An earlier announcement by the 10th CPPCC National Committee
said among the 4,660 proposals submitted to last year's CPPCC
session, 4,496 were accepted and forwarded to relevant departments.
By February 20 this year, 99.29 percent of the proposals had been
properly handled with timely feedbacks to their submitters.
