The government should attach great importance to environmental protection. I suggest setting up an intergovernmental mechanism to coordinate the Ministry of Environmental Protection, National Energy Administration, Ministry of Transport and the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

We have kept in touch with the National Astronomical Observatories since the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope began operating on Sept 25. Generally speaking, this kind of colossal facility needs two to five years to complete debugging. We predict that calibration will take up to two years before it reaches its full potential.

Zheng Shanglun

NPC deputy and a Chongqing station chief Crimes committed by people with mental health issues are always a threat to social security, so I’ve been researching how to take precautions against this while also guaranteeing their human rights. To get a better picture of these people, I strongly suggest the national health authorities set up a nationwide database and share information about such people with the civil affairs and public security authorities.

Bai Yansong

CPPCC National Committee member and a China Central

Recently, large numbers of media staff have resigned and turned to other industries. My proposal to solve the problem is to conduct reforms of media funds and invest more in media content, which will support reporters to generate better products. In addition, I also suggest intellectual property rights protection for in-depth news reports, which will increase journalists’ enthusiasm for generating such reports.

Nur Bekri

NPC deputy and director of the National Administration

China imported 370 million metric tons of crude oil in 2016 while producing another 200 million metric tons domestically. Although regions such as Xinjiang share the same geological conditions as some Central Asian countries, a lack of exploration ability has caused them to produce less oil.
