China's top political advisory body starts annual session
March 4
Wang called for promoting harmony in relations between political parties, ethnic groups, religions, social strata, and compatriots at home and abroad.
CPPCC members should fully understand that each of them is an important force for strengthening this unity, and reach out to people from all sectors of society, he said.
Efforts are needed to rally more people around the Party and pool greater strength in the historic advance to national rejuvenation, he added.
"To strengthen unity throughout the Chinese nation, we must uphold the leadership of the CPC," he said.
Wang called for exploring ways to maintain close contacts with the grassroots and employ modern means of communication to create efficient ways of serving the people.
After hearing the report, Liu Hongyu, a national political adviser and a lawyer, said she believes that this unity refers to harmonious relations.
Now, people from all sectors of society can express themselves on the platform of democratic consultation of the CPPCC, which is a process of building consensus. Meanwhile, democratic consultation allows people to put forward good suggestions for economic and legal development, as well as people's livelihoods, Liu said.
"The wisdom of people from all walks of life can be gathered for the progress of the country," she said. "In the big family of the Chinese nation, through democracy and unity, we can keep achieving a lot more success."
