Page 6 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

organized focusing on strategic and forward-looking topics, such as scientific
and technological innovation, the popularization of science, and research on a

system of indictors for modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Some of
the major results achieved at these events have been affirmed and adopted.
We formulated work plans for democratic oversight, and held a

Chairpersons Council brain-storming session on the theme of strengthening
and improving democratic oversight by the CPPCC in the new era. To give
full play to the unique strengths of consultative oversight, we integrated

consultation into every step of the oversight process, from identifying topics
and surveying the situation on the ground to offering comments.
Led by members of the Chairpersons Council, the 10 special committees

exercised follow-up oversight on priorities in different sectors, and submitted
oversight reports to the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on
topics such as accelerating renovations to create convenience for seniors.

Through these endeavors, we saw that consultation spurred progress, and
that oversight led to better enforcement.
Leaders of the National Committee set an example in advancing

independent research conducted by members, which has the advantages of
being flexible, pragmatic, and efficient. Last year, independent research was
carried out on more than 120 issues.

We opened up more channels for reporting on social conditions and
public sentiment, presented key research and consultation results to the
departments concerned, and published 3,010 news bulletins on various issues

over the year.

wisdom and strength

In line with the arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, we
successfully held the meeting marking the 110th anniversary of the
Revolution of 1911. By thoroughly studying General Secretary Xi Jinping’s
important speech at the meeting, we became more determined to promote the

complete reunification of the motherland and achieve the great rejuvenation
of the Chinese nation.

Members of the National Committee’s leading Party members group had
open discussions with 367 non-CPC members of the National Committee. We
arranged 11 awareness-raising tours on special topics of major significance,
hosted 10 committee-member lecture programs, conducted 11 topic-specific

self-teaching and self-improvement inspection tours for non-CPC members,
