model of development as well as our philosophy of governance.
We improved and expanded our platforms, channels, and areas for external
exchanges. We established the Sino-African friendship group, hosted a series of

“Experience CPPCC” events for foreign diplomatic envoys and international
students in China, and held a symposium on united front organizations in socialist

countries. We provided support for the China Economic and Social Council and
the China Committee on Religion and Peace to increase international exchanges.
Carrying forward our fighting spirit, we issued stern statements in response to

the concoction of bills related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang in the US and
Europe and to former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s provocative visit to the

Taiwan region of China, resolutely defending our country’s sovereignty, security,

submitted online. This has paved the way for more extensive participation among
members and greater efficiency in the performance of duties.

We intensified efforts to improve the quality of proposals and the way they
were processed, updated the system for consultation on the processing of
proposals as well as for oversight of the processing of key proposals, and selected

for commendation 100 of the most impactful proposals over the past 70 years of the
CPPCC. In the past five years, a total of 29,323 proposals were submitted, 23,818 of

which were accepted and filed, with 99.8 percent of accepted proposals receiving a
formal response or reply.
