The session will maintain a focus on providing suggestions to achieve the goals of building Chinese modernization. Special consultative committee meetings and forums will delve into issues, including upholding high-quality population development to support modernization.
In light of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the CPPCC, Liu emphasized the significant impact of this year’s session. The agenda includes deliberations on the CPPCC Standing Committee’s work report, proposals from political advisors, and participation in the second session of the 14th National People’s Congress. The session will also review the CPPCC National Committee’s past year’s work and outline plans for the upcoming year.
Economic resilience and development remain key topics, with political advisors expected to contribute suggestions on employment, vocational training, and policies to boost the birth rate. A proposal to completely scrap birth limits and offer equal support to single parents and children born out of wedlock has been put forward. The session aims to address livelihood issues, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to population policies.
