The annual sessions of the NPC and the CPPCC, China's top legislative and advisory bodies, are only one month away. Premier Li Keqiang recently called for better handling of suggestions and proposals made by the legislature and political advisory body by saying "motions and proposals expect for not just a satisfying response but also a satisfying outcome". What has happened to these suggestions and proposals one year later? Here's more from the State Council press conference.

China's top legislative and advisory bodies were reported to have received thousands of motions and proposals last year during the Two Sessions. But what's the next step? On Friday, China's State Council announced how its administrative department has handled the submitted suggestions by NPC and CPPCC members in 2017.

Statistics show that China's State Council has handled 89.4 % of the suggestions made by legislators and 87 % proposals from political advisors since the annual sessions of the two bodies in March last year.

Implementation of the advisable suggestions on key issues has largely contributed to major national strategies – which includes China's "Belt and Road Initiative" and supply-side structural reform.

ZHANG FENG CHIEF ENGINEER, MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. "The central government has always been highly concerned with making China a powerful manufacturing country. We listened to delegates from Anhui Province as well as Jiusan Society and analyzed and summarized their ideas before proposing the implementation plan of Made in China 2025."

Suggestions and proposals from the public has also inspired administrative work when it comes to the livelihood and interest of common people. Vice Minister of Transportation Ministry said quite a few sectors boomed in 2017, which was beneficial to the public yet required engaging public opinion.

LIU XIAOMING VICE MINISTEROF TRANSPORTATION "Shared bikes is a good example. It has grown dramatically over the past few years and received wide acclaim, but has also caused problems. Therefore, many delegates have submitted their suggestions and proposals to support innovation and a sustainable transportation system while keeping commercial competition and traffic in order. We invited many delegates and members to participate in field research, symposiums, and operations, to formulate relevant policies together."

New processes have also been adopted to improve efficiency and bring delegates closer. Ministry of Industry and has established an online system to assist in the reviewing process. The ministry of human resources and social security has tried to communicate with all delegates on their motions and proposals, and to meet with one-tenth of them in person. 98% of legislators and political advisors are said to be satisfied with the handling of their suggestions.
