Fellow Deputies,
The five-year term of the 13th NPC Standing Committee was a time of
historic change in China in which the cause of the Party and the country

flourished. We acquired a deep understanding of the decisive significance of
establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central
Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi
Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We
became more conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in
big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the
central Party leadership. We stayed confident in the path, theory, system, and
culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We upheld Comrade Xi

Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a
whole and upheld the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized,
unified leadership.

We resolutely implemented the Party’s theories, lines, principles, and
policies and kept the NPC’s work oriented in the right direction. We closely
followed the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and plans, aligned
ourselves with the people’s aspirations for a better life, and focused on the
need to modernize China’s system and capacity for governance. We put into
practice the important concept of whole-process people’s democracy and
closely relied on all deputies in exercising our powers to enact laws, conduct

oversight, make decisions, and appoint and remove officials in accordance
with the law. We earnestly fulfilled the honorable duties conferred upon us
by the Party and the people and strove to honor our solemn commitment to
live up to the trust of the Party Central Committee and the expectations of the
people.

Over the past five years, our most important achievements are progress in
developing the theory on the people’s congress system and in carrying out the
practical work of the people’s congresses with the guidance and
encouragement of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at

its core.
