What the National People’s Congress and the Political Consultative Conference actually do, where the delegates come from, and why thousands of proposals shape China’s policy agenda every year.
Thanks for the insight, Neil. China has Two Sessions and America has AIPAC. China's ascent and America's decline tells us all we need to know about which system works best for its citizens.
I admire China’s democratic political system. Hope one day Malaysia can adopt elements from the Chinese system, especially the part that prioritises consultation and unanimity. There is too much rivalry and animosity in Malaysia’s political system.
Your right when you say two dimensional view and I'm sure your referencing the cartoonish U. S. system which is a farce at this point in time. The uniparty.

Thank you for providing this insightful explanation. I was just in China for 2 weeks, and would love to learn more about the systems that make sure impressive progress possible.
I just returned from a multi-month trip in China. I was blown away with what I saw and experienced. This conference is clever. Bits surface. Ideas take shape. Alternative futures are proposed. Policy is shaped. I think this is great. Note, China if Scalia has a life after death, don’t let him near your courts or law making ability. Otherwise, this conference just becomes an auction for the haves.
As a person interested in political science, I appreciate your explanations of how the Chinese system works. I've been impressed with the progress China is making in improving living stanards as well as its advances in science and technology, especially AI and robotics.
thank you, also, after the meeting, the almost all corperations small/big, local goverments will study and review it. And they will know what to do next. The meeting point out the general direction of the country
In my opinion, AI is a job killer in the US of the Bewildered America. I admire China's handle on Communism. I believe China's people benefit from being taken care of through this kind of culture. In the meantime, the US of Bewildered America, rule by the Oligarchy gets to experience control by greed.
As usual, an succinct educational piece on China's political system. China is advanced in technology, could it be there is acceleration software that recognizes key phrases to put the 'almost' ideas together?
Are you familiar with any decisions with a deadlines? Many decisions in various organizations are tabled for 2 and 3 years.
I like the' low-altitude' economy term because I live at approximately 12,000 kilometers in Denver Colorado.
There is a country in our global community that shows brilliant examples of how to proceed in technology and taking care of 'commoners'. It's called China.
Is there enough data to post a comparison about how AI is perceived in various countries, but in particular China and the US of Bewildered America? My opinion is that AI is a job killer in the US.
I am not exactly sure what the feed back deadlines, but usually a lot decision making in China required within 6 month… especially, some of those legal matters.
Love the details in this article. I live in Boston and we have a large Chinese population. Lots of students. I’ve had discussions of government with them but I like this structured approach. Very well done. My question is how is the law from a proposal created? Is there another body that codifies a proposal into law?
yes, for example, Lei Jun from Xiaomi submitted proposals about speeding up auto driving regulation, this will go into ministry of transport. Then the ministry will debate and response to Lei Jun, after that, maybe start some pilot programs, if everything works out it will draft into law by the ministry of transport.
These sessions look great in theory. But how can such a large gathering of delegates, with each delegate representing specific local or regional concerns, expect any meaningful attention in just 10-14 days ? It just seems to be more of a ceremonial token of local representation, rather than a genuine and effective participation in government.
All proposals will submitted to related government agencies, and the agencies have to reply to the people who submit it. You might think this is a big meeting, but not really, consider how many people work within the goverment.
It seems to me that these “Sessions” would be more relevant and effective if they were conducted more frequently. They really don’t serve the same function as do a Congress, a Parliament, a Diet, a Duma. Not that any of those actually accomplish much either.

In my town of Denver Colorado, the recycle guidelines change and when a friend or people complain, I know that talks about these changes have been going on for one, two or even three years.

waste too much time and tax money for infighting.

My term: Republicrats and Demicans
good one
Both are pretty much the same, just different language.
Republicrats and Demicans

I will post more in the future, thanks for reading!

I'm jealous. I want to spend a month seeing the geography, technology and the top 20 and low 20 populated centers of China.
come to travel.
Also I will do live stream when I back to China, walk around in Wuhan and other cities
I'm 73, and most of my budget is spoken for. Air fare is $2,000. In my next life.

What if i were to bring that system to North American shores?

I wonder the same. Is there an acceleration software that looks for key words to bring the 'almost' same ideas together?
