China's top political advisory body has pledged to offer consistent wisdom and strength in support of the nation's ongoing efforts to foster a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, aiming to build a beautiful China. Liu Jieyi, spokesperson for the third session of the 14th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, made the remarks in a news conference in Beijing on Monday, one day before the committee's annual session. In 2024, the proportion of days with fairly good air quality — considered to be below 100 on a 0-500 air quality index scale — nationwide reached 87.2 percent, while the ratio of surface water with fairly good quality increased to 90.4 percent, he said. Focusing on issues in building a beautiful China and addressing ecological and environmental concerns shared by the people, CPPCC members have engaged in in-depth consultations and deliberations and contributed proposals concerning a series of themes such as green, low-carbon development, resources recycling and rural sewage treatment, he said.
