Chinese President Xi Jinping joined senior leaders on March 11, 2026, for the conclusion of the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), reinforcing commitments to national development and cross-strait stability.
The Beijing gathering marked the culmination of week-long deliberations by over 2,000 political advisors representing diverse sectors. This year's session focused on economic revitalization strategies and measures to strengthen social cohesion amid global uncertainties.
In his closing remarks, Xi emphasized the CPPCC's critical role as 'a vital channel for socialist consultative democracy,' particularly in advancing innovation-driven growth targets set for China's 15th Five-Year Plan period. The advisory body submitted 5,912 proposals during this session, with digital transformation and green energy emerging as key themes.
Notably, discussions addressed enhanced economic integration across the Taiwan Strait, with multiple proposals advocating expanded cooperation frameworks between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan region. CPPCC members highlighted recent progress in cross-strait agricultural tech partnerships and financial market connectivity initiatives.
The session concluded with the adoption of a political resolution supporting the Chinese government's approach to maintaining stability while pursuing high-quality development. Analysts suggest this year's proposals will significantly influence policy-making ahead of the National People's Congress meetings.
