Expats gain insights into working of People's Congress

Some 40 expatriates from Huacao Town in Minhang District visited the meeting hall of the standing committee of the Shanghai People’s Congress on Friday.

For the first time this year, the city’s legislature opened its doors to foreign residents working for international companies and international schools.

The meeting hall is where laws and decisions are made by the city’s legislators, and in recent years, more and more foreigners have been invited to visit to gain an insight into how a Chinese legislature works.

Gao Deyi, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the congress, briefed the visitors on how the people’s congress functions.

Besides lawmaking, members of the congress are also involved in the examination of law enforcement, supervision and investigation, inquiries to the government, and presentation of reports.

There are currently 57 members on the standing committee of the Shanghai People’s Congress, and more than 861 elected members of the city’s legislature. Suggestions and proposals are solicited from them all year round.
