process more than 430,000 letters and visits.

We improved the NPC’s ability to carry out media and public
communications work. We organized press briefings, press conferences, the
“deputies’ corridor,” and the “ministers’ corridor,” and we assigned a
spokesperson for each delegation and set up video interview rooms at the
press center when the NPC was in session. We strengthened our reporting
along the whole process of our legislative and oversight work and did a better

job publicizing the work of our deputies. We gave full play to the roles of
China Institute of Theory on the People’s Congress System and our magazine
National People’s Congress of China, and we promoted greater integration of our
publicity efforts through publications, internet, microblogs, WeChat, and
mobile applications. We wrote theoretical books on the studies and
interpretation of the theory on the people’s congress system. Throughout the

pandemic, we provided quality services to NPC sessions and Standing
Committee meetings and ensured normal operations of the Great Hall of the
People.

discipline, creating a clean and honest environment that encouraged
dedication and hard work.
We launched campaigns to raise awareness of the need to stay true to the
Party’s founding mission and to encourage the study of Party history, and we

thoroughly studied Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era. We held seminars every year to share our
studies and application of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s key ideas on
upholding and improving the system of people’s congresses. We hosted 32
lectures on topics such as Xi Jinping’s thinking on the rule of law and Xi
Jinping’s thinking on diplomacy.

We formulated and implemented a five-year study plan for the NPC
bodies. We trained a large number of high-caliber NPC employees who are
politically steadfast, are dedicated to serving the people, respect the rule of
law, promote democracy, and work hard with a strong sense of responsibility.

(5) We built closer ties with local people’s congresses.

We held a symposium to mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment
of standing committees for local people’s congresses at and above the county
level. We called meetings for provincial people’s congresses to share their
experience in legislative work, and we held a national forum on local
