Page 3 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

Bearing in mind the importance of pursuing unity and democracy and
preserving the nature and position of the CPPCC, we strengthened theoretical

and political guidance with a focus on celebrating the CPC’s centenary,
fulfilled our duties with a view to facilitating a good start to the 14th
Five-Year Plan, and enhanced the CPPCC’s role as a specialized consultative

body with the goal of improving its institutional efficacy. We thus made new
contributions to the development of the undertakings of the Party and the
country.

1. Focusing on the celebration for the CPC’s centenary and consolidating shared
political foundations
We carried out programs to educate people about the history of the CPC
in particular but also the history of the People’s Republic of China, reform

and opening up, and the development of socialism. These educational
programs were launched at different levels, with National Committee

members who are also CPC members playing a leading role and inspiring
non-CPC members. We highlighted the unique features of the CPPCC,
encouraged National Committee members to play a principal role, and
devoted our energy to building consensus. The emphasis of these history

study programs was placed on strengthening our understanding, conviction,
integrity, and diligence.

We convened a conference for members of the CPPCC National
Committee to exchange experience in studying General Secretary Xi Jinping’s
speech delivered at the ceremony marking the CPC’s centenary, at which all
participants expressed their resolve to embark on the new journey toward

realizing the Second Centenary Goal under the leadership of the CPC.
We conducted inspections, surveys, and research tours at local

revolutionary education bases, and organized an inspection tour of Jiangxi
and Guizhou for a group of National Committee members from 34 social
sectors, which was a valuable review of the CPC’s grand history and a
profound experience for all participants.

We produced and released committee-member lecture programs
including one on the theme of “Carrying Forward the Spirit of Communists”.

We organized visits to an exhibition on the history of the CPC
entitled ”Staying True to Our Founding Mission”, and staged exhibitions on
the Eighth National Congress of the CPC and on precious historical materials
related to the origins of the flags of the Party, the country, and the army.
