The people's congress system is the fundamental political system in China, serving as an important institutional vehicle for realizing whole-process people's democracy in China. Deputies to various levels of the people's congresses make laws and serve the people.
Jerry Grey, a British media commentator, continued his journey into multilevel legislative organs in Guangdong to witness how the deputies perform their duties. What he saw and heard during the tours are presented from today on in this three-episode special offer: Practicing China's Democracy: An Expat's Look into People's Congress, to mark the 70th anniversary of the establishment of China's National People's Congress this year.
How do grassroots-level deputies fulfill their duties? And how do they help increase incomes for local residents? In this episode, Jerry visited Dongnan Village in Lianshan's Shangshuai Town, to witness how county-level deputy Huang Jiaying expands Chinese hanging gourd farming, and how he makes his own efforts to boost ethnic minority culture.
