Some 1,088 proposals by individuals, political parties and various organizations have been collected since the conclusion of the fourth session of the 12th CPPCC Shanxi Committee in January 2021, said Xi. 

By the end of December 2021, 900 of the collected proposals were put on record for further discussion and implementation. 

These proposals involved issues such as the construction of a modern industrial system, supply-side structural reform, innovative development of trade in services, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, legal development, a public cultural service system, educational development, smart city construction, and ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin. 

Many proposals have been incorporated into the Shanxi Provincial Government's decision-making, development planning and departmental work for the province's development.
