Page 2 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CONGRESS

Fellow Deputies,

On behalf of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s
Congress (NPC), I now present this report on its work for your deliberation.

The Major Work of the Past Year and the Past Five Years

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in
2012, in response to grave, intricate international developments and a
succession of risks and challenges, the Party Central Committee with
Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has brought together the entire Party, the entire
military, and the entire Chinese people and led them in adopting a number of

strategic measures, developing a range of transformative practices, and
making a series of breakthroughs and landmark advances, thereby setting
China on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all
respects.

The Communist Party of China’s 19th and 20th national congresses
captured worldwide attention and provided profound answers to a number
of major theoretical and practical questions on upholding and developing
socialism with Chinese characteristics on the new journey in the new era.
They charted a course and established a guide to action for building a modern
socialist country in all respects and advancing national rejuvenation on all

fronts. Rich in major political, theoretical, and practical achievements, the two
congresses will go down in history. They set the direction and offered
guidelines for carrying out the work of people’s congresses in the new era.

Over the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central
Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the 13th NPC Standing
Committee earnestly implemented the guiding principles from the 19th and
20th national Party congresses and accomplished all the tasks set forth at its
Fifth Session in March 2022.

 In pursuing high-quality legislation, we formulated 5 laws, revised 9
laws, adopted 4 decisions on legal issues and major matters, and
issued 1 legal interpretation.

 In exercising effective oversight, we conducted inspections on the
implementation of 5 laws, heard and deliberated 23 oversight reports,
held special inquiries, and carried out 8 research projects.

 In adhering to high standards in our work related to deputies, we
processed 487 proposals and 9,349 suggestions from deputies and saw
deputy attendance in the work of the Standing Committee, special

committees, and working commissions and committees exceed 100.
