NPC makes major accomplishments
NPC figures show that national lawmakers have been more active in making legislative proposals.
During this year's legislative session, national lawmakers filed 491 motions, up by 51 percent year-on-year. Among them, 487 are on legislation and four on supervision.
"Motions filed by national legislators reflect the will of the people and bring together the wisdom of the people. It's an important part of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics," the secretariat of the session said in a report delivered on Thursday.
Those motions mainly focus on pushing forward high-quality growth, such as amending laws to better protect property rights and improve the business environment, supporting innovation and guarding against financial risks, better-protecting minors and caring for the elderly, promoting green development and the cultural sector, advancing social governance and safeguarding national security.
