Yu Zhengsheng, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), has delivered a report on the work of the top political advisory body, as the fifth session of the 12th National Committee of the CPPCC opened at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

“We gave impetus to the implementation of the CPC Central Committee’s major reform measures, concerning the development of consultative democracy in the CPPCC,” said Yu.

“We worked to refine practices of democratic oversight, and organized 18 major oversight activities. We undertook thorough research on issues of democratic oversight in CPPCC consultative democracy,” said Yu, explaining that suggestions and proposals had been submitted “to the CPC Central Committee for consideration, as they make plans for strengthening and improving CPPCC democratic oversight.”

Yu explained that the fundamental role of the CPPCC’s research and study activities were also strengthened.

“We formulated an overall plan for the year’s inspections and research activities, with those on key topics being led by members of Chairperson’s Council and participated in by CPPCC special committees, democratic parties, and local CPPCC committees,” he said.
