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

progress in developing a political consultation framework characterized by
institutionalized, orderly, and multi-tiered consultations and extensive
participation of all sectors of society.
We solicited opinions from an extensive range of people, chose consultation
topics through well-conceived steps, drew up detailed consultation plans, made
meticulous arrangements for consultations, and ensured the results of surveys and
studies were put to use. We refined our suggestions through exchange of opinions,
pooled wisdom through discussions, and increased the practicality and
effectiveness of our suggestions.
We attached greater importance to interaction in consultation, to enable us to
have a better understanding of issues and to incorporate into consultation the tasks
of making suggestions, providing support, and exercising oversight. As a result,
the consultation and deliberation process has become one in which to provide
theoretical guidance, communicate state policies, remove doubts, and enhance
confidence; and one in which to share information, see matters from alternative
viewpoints, and exchange views. This has enabled us to develop consensus on the
Party and state’s major principles and policies and foster strong synergy for
spurring all sectors to work as one in implementing the Party and state’s decisions
and plans.

To ensure the prevention and control of air, water, and soil pollution, we
dispatched our members to 14 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities
directly under the central government to conduct surveys, and the Standing
Committee held a special consultative meeting for proposals on pollution
prevention and control. We conducted a series of activities to study and discuss
such issues as rural living environments, eco-migration, marine resources, nature
reserves, the implementation of the lake and river chief systems, and the green
development of the express delivery sector. These efforts have contributed to the
healthy development of our ecological environment.
To forestall and defuse major risks, we conducted in-depth research to
