国内英语新闻:China invites public opinion on gov't work

BEIJING, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- An online initiative titled "I Want to Say to Premier" was launched Tuesday by the official website of China's central government (www.gov.cn) and other internet platforms to invite public opinion and suggestions on the government's work.

Opinions or suggestions on 20 topics including poverty reduction, business environment, employment, education, elderly care, and income can be submitted via www.gov.cn, the "State Council" mobile application, and other websites joining the initiative, according to an official statement.

The initiative runs from Tuesday until the conclusion of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 2020.

Public input, if considered to be of high value, will be forwarded to organizations responsible for drafting the "Report on the Work of the Government."

This is the sixth time that the official website of China's central government has launched an online initiative to solicit public opinion and suggestions before the opening of annual sessions of the NPC and the National Committee of CPPCC.
