The third session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's leading political advisory body, closed its annual meeting on Monday with a focus on policy recommendations to drive economic growth and social stability. Over 2,000 members attended the session, submitting proposals on topics ranging from technological innovation to cross-strait relations.
Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, emphasized the body’s role in “building consensus” and advancing the nation’s modernization goals. He highlighted the importance of integrating expert insights into policymaking, particularly in addressing challenges such as sustainable development and regional coordination.
Proposals from this year’s session included enhancing cooperation with the Taiwan region to foster people-to-people exchanges, alongside calls for streamlining regulatory frameworks to attract overseas investment. Analysts noted the advisory body’s alignment with broader economic priorities, including stabilizing supply chains and boosting high-tech industries.
The session underscored the CPPCC’s function as a “think tank” bridging government priorities and public interests. As the annual legislative ‘Two Sessions’ conclude, stakeholders await further details on how these proposals will shape China’s policy agenda for 2024.
