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

Members of the National Committee’s leading Party members’ group held

talks with non-CPC members on 300 occasions to learn about their circumstances
and have face-to-face exchanges. We held 10 briefings on major issues of public
concern and 11 topic-specific inspection tours aimed at self-teaching and

self-improvement. Leveraging the influence of our members, we arranged 14
awareness-raising tours for major and special tasks and hosted 12

committee-member lecture programs to explain policies to people from different
social sectors and the general public, address concerns and doubts, and guide

expectations. These programs and corresponding media coverage received over
200 million views.

proposals and speeches in their respective names, and co-hosted major
consultations with democratic parties and the All-China Federation of Industry

and Commerce. We held special consultative forums for members from ethnic
minority groups and religious groups. We organized briefings and forums for

National Committee members from Hong Kong and Macao. We co-hosted an
exhibition to mark the 75th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan from Japanese
occupation, as well as the third Straits forum on community-level governance as

part of the 12th Straits Forum. We invited representatives of the young generation
of overseas Chinese nationals to attend CPPCC study sessions and tours across

China.

stronger sense of political responsibility, and supported the governments and chief

executives of the two regions in exercising law-based governance. We encouraged
National Committee members from Hong Kong to issue statements calling for the

enactment and enforcement of the National Security Law for the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region.

falsehoods peddled by certain US politicians. We also supported the China
