Senior leaders Jia Qinglin, Zeng Qinghong, Wu Guanzheng and Luo Gan
Tuesday joined deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC)
from Macao, Qinghai, Chongqing, Guangxi and Ningxia, in their panel
discussions.
Qia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee,
told NPC deputies from Macao that Macao compatriots are important
members of the big family of the Chinese nation, and the future of
Macao is always closely tied to that of the Chinese nation.
Under the leadership of the government of the special
administrative region headed by Mr. Edmund Ho Hau Wah, the Macao
compatriots have created a good situation characterized by economic
and social prosperity and stability, he said.
This fully testifies to the correctness of the policy of "one
country, two systems," "Macao people governing Macao" and a high
degree of autonomy, said Jia.
Joining NPC deputies from Qinghai and Chongqing in their
discussions on separate occasions, Zeng Qinghong, also a member of
the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central
Committee, expressed the hope that the people of Qinghai and
Chongqing, both in western China, would seize the opportunity of
the implementation of the western China development drive to bring
about a leap in local development.
Wu
Guanzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central
Committee Political Bureau, joined a group discussion with NPC
deputies from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. He told the
deputies to place education and prevention first in combating graft
and building a clean government so as to reinforce the mental
defense line of the majority of cadres and Party members.
He
told the deputies to make a point of having an orientation talk on
anti-corruption and clean government with officials before they are
appointed.
Luo Gan, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central
Committee Political Bureau, said during a panel discussion with NPC
deputies from the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region that the rising
momentum of criminal cases across the country had been curbed after
two years of the massive "strike hard" campaign. Consequently,
social order has been improved and people have felt more
secure.
However, the social security situation brooks no optimism and it
requires no letup in the "strike hard" campaign in order to
safeguard a smooth operation of reform and development and create
an environment for the people to live and work in peace and
contentment, Luo Gan stressed.
