The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) concluded its annual session on March 13, with more than 2,000 members participating in the 11-day session having provided 5,210 proposals for policymakers. Economic issues were the focus of 34.7% of all proposals, down from 42% in 2016. Last year, CPPCC National Committee Members submitted 5,375 proposals. Although the number fell this year, “the quality of proposals has risen significantly”, according to a CPPCC document. Proposals addressed issues such as energy consumption, poverty reduction, and the production of safe, quality goods. More attention was focused on environmental protection and social development. Poverty reduction was also an important focal point this year. China lifted 12.4 million people in rural areas out of poverty in 2016, although there were still 43.35 million people living below the poverty line at the end of 2016, the China Daily reports.
