Jerry Grey, a British media commentator, has been living and working in south China’s Guangdong Province for nearly 20 years. He has long been curious about how democracy is interpreted in China, a populous country, and how Chinese people exercise state power through people’s congresses, China’s legislature. He traveled across Guangdong and visited multilevel legislative organs to find out how the people’s congress system works, and what he saw and heard during the tours are presented from today on in Daily Bae’s three-episode special offer: How China’s Democracy Works – An Expat’s Look into People’s Congress, to mark the 70th founding anniversary of the National People’s Congress (NPC) this year.
Water pollution was once one of the most prominent environmental issues in Guangdong, known as China’s economic powerhouse. But in recent years, the water quality has greatly and continuously improved in Guangdong with concerted efforts, and you may be surprised to find that the supervision of the Guangdong People’s Congress plays an essential role in the water treatment process. In this episode, Jerry visited the Guangdong People’s Congress to get a deeper understanding of how it works.
