英闻天下——382 China's Legislation Centers on Major Strategies

 　　Wu Bangguo, Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing¹ Committee, says the top legislature always focuses on the "overall work" of the Communist Party of China and the country.

 

　　He notes a lot of attention has been given by the lawmakers to the proposals designed to push forward the country's economic restructuring.

 

　　This includes boosting domestic demand, encouraging innovation and developing the service sector².

 

　　"We should put more attention on how to improve the quality and effectiveness of economic growth, which will enable us to transfer the challenging time during the global financial crisis into an opportunity to improve the sustainability of our economy."

 

　　In his broad-ranged report, Wu particularly touches upon China's pollution problems.

 

　　He says the top legislature has been tying to help promote China's green, circular and low-carbon development.

 

　　He also says the country's top lawmakers have adopted a resolution defining the government's basic stance on the fight against climate change, which has been expressed as "common but differentiated³ responsibilities".

 

　　At the same time, he says food safety is being taken seriously as well.

 

　　"We have prompted the State Council to improve the mechanism⁴ for coordinating⁵ food safety work and create a risk monitoring and assessment⁶ mechanism for food safety."

 

　　Regarding other issues about people's wellbeing, the top legislator says the NPC has stepped up efforts in pushing forward the reform of people's income distribution.

 

　　"Adjusting income distribution system is a major reform concerning our overall work as well as a must in the process of economic restructuring."

 

　　When it comes to China's legal and political system though, Wu Bangguo says "the system of the people's congresses is the fundamental political system reflecting the nature of China".

 

　　"We fully⁷ understood the essential difference between China's system of people's congresses and Western capitalist countries' systems of state power. We drew on the political achievements of other societies, but never copied the model of Western political systems."

 

　　The report further addresses issues such as cultural development, internet security, human rights and even labor⁸ contract.
