Page 7 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

held 4 seminars to assess the macroeconomic landscape and 10 briefings on
major issues of public concern, and filmed a number of interview videos for a

series titled Conference Call. All these efforts helped communicate government
policies, respond to public concerns, and build consensus.
We studied and implemented the guiding principles of the Central

Conference on Ethnic Affairs and the National Conference on Religious Work.
We held training sessions for members from ethnic minorities and religious
groups, and conducted surveys and consultations on issues including the

expansion of employment channels in areas with concentrations of ethnic
minorities and the governance of religious affairs in an effort to promote
ethnic solidarity and religious harmony.

We encouraged members from Hong Kong to voice their support for the
National People’s Congress in improving the electoral system of the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region, promoted implementation of the

principle that Hong Kong should be governed by patriots, and offered
suggestions on responding to the epidemic and fostering patriotism among
young people in Hong Kong and Macao. We also co-hosted the fourth Strait

forum on community-level governance as part of the 13th Strait Forum. These
efforts helped strengthen unity and friendship with our compatriots in Hong
Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and overseas.

We carried out international exchanges while adhering to routine
epidemic control measures. We hosted activities for diplomatic envoys from
Latin American and Caribbean countries posted in China to experience the

CPPCC for themselves, provided support for the China Economic and Social
Council and the China Committee on Religion and Peace to attend relevant
international events, and conducted 80 international exchange events online.

We launched a new column titled “An Epic March” on our
English-language website to mark the centenary of the Communist Party of
China, and filmed international publicity clips to illustrate the CPC’s

endeavors over the past century and its achievements in the governance of
China and to inform people about whole-process people’s democracy and the
CPPCC system.

We issued formal statements to clarify our stance of principled opposition
in response to the passage of an act concerning Xinjiang by the U.S. Congress
and the adoption of a report concerning Taiwan by the European Parliament

and its committee on foreign affairs.
