Officials carry out extensive field research
China DailyGovernment officials and legislators carry out research at a job market in Qujing, Yunnan province, a home for the elderly in Nantong, Jiangsu province, and a neighborhood committee in Shanghai. JIANG WENYAO/XU CONGJUN/LIU YING/XINHUA New focus Zhang Lianqi, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said the world is undergoing profound changes unseen for a century, with rising uncertainties. Zhang said the work plan released by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee in March, days after the conclusion of this year's two sessions, has strong relevance for research and study work, as it lists 12 aspects for main research. Research should also target major problems that occur when reform and opening-up is deepened on all fronts, when advancing law-based governance, and when dealing with challenges in the ideological domain, the plan states. Each year to help government decision-making, Zhang submits five proposals to the CPPCC National Committee based on his research.
