Advisory Body on Road to New Start

The First Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China’s top political advisory body, closed in Beijing on March 15. Political advisors endorsed a resolution on an amendment to the CPPCC Charter at the closing meeting in addition to a resolution on the work report of the Standing Committee of the 12th CPPCC National Committee, a report on the examination of pro- posals and a political resolution.

Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era has been written into the amended charter as a guiding theory of the CPPCC.

The inclusion of the idea of “consultative democracy” is another highlight of the revi- sion. Consultative democracy is a model and strength unique to China’s socialist democracy, according to the amended chapter. It states that the CPPCC is a major channel for socialist consultative democracy and a specialist consul- tative body.

Wang Yang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), was elected chairman of the 13th CPPCC National Committee on March 14, as were its 24 vice chairpersons and a 300-mem- ber Standing Committee.
