各位代表：	Fellow Deputies,
現在，我受全國人民代表大會常務委員會委託，向大會報告工作，請予審議。	On behalf of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress (NPC), I now present this report on its work for your deliberation.
過去一年的工作	The Year in Review
2021年是黨和國家歷史上具有里程碑意義的一年。我們黨隆重慶祝中國共產黨成立一百周年，勝利召開黨的十九屆六中全會，總結黨的百年奮鬥重大成就和歷史經驗，制定黨的第三個歷史決議；如期打贏脫貧攻堅戰，正式宣布全面建成小康社會、實現第一個百年奮鬥目標，開啟全面建設社會主義現代化國家、向第二個百年奮鬥目標進軍新征程。以習近平同志為核心的黨中央，以偉大的歷史主動精神、巨大的政治勇氣、強烈的責任擔當，沉着應對百年變局和世紀疫情，推動黨和國家各項事業取得了新的重大成就，進一步彰顯了黨中央的堅強領導，彰顯了黨領導14億多中國人民凝聚起來的磅礴力量，彰顯了中國特色社會主義制度的巨大優越性，激勵我們以更加昂揚的姿態奮進新征程、建功新時代！	The year 2021 was a milestone in the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and our country. The Party celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding and convened the sixth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee, at which the Party’s major achievements and historical experience over the past century were reviewed and its third historical resolution was adopted. Having won the critical battle against poverty on schedule, the Party officially declared success in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieving the First Centenary Goal, and it embarked on the new journey to build China into a modern socialist nation in all respects and achieve the Second Centenary Goal. With great historical initiative, tremendous political courage, and a strong sense of responsibility, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core responded calmly to changes and a pandemic of a magnitude not seen in a century and achieved new major progress in advancing all areas of the Party and country’s endeavors. This further demonstrated the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the boundless might amassed by more than 1.4 billion Chinese people under the Party’s leadership, and the great strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it fills us with greater confidence and resolve as we forge ahead on the new journey and make greater contributions in the new era.
2021年在人民代表大會制度歷史上也具有特殊重要意義。黨中央首次召開人大工作會議，習近平總書記發表重要講話，深刻回答了新時代發展中國特色社會主義民主政治、堅持和完善人民代表大會制度的一系列重大理論和實踐問題，深刻揭示了人民代表大會制度是中國共產黨百年奮鬥的重大制度成果，系統論述了全過程人民民主這一重大理念，明確提出了加強和改進人大工作的指導思想、重大原則和主要任務。黨中央印發關於新時代堅持和完善人民代表大會制度、加強和改進人大工作的意見。黨中央的重大部署和習近平總書記的重要講話，為我們做好新時代人大工作指明了前進方向、提供了根本遵循。	2021 was also a year of particular importance in the history of the people’s congress system. The Party Central Committee held the first-ever Central People’s Congress Work Conference, where General Secretary Xi Jinping gave an important speech, providing profound answers to a number of major theoretical and practical issues concerning the development of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics and the preservation and improvement of the people’s congress system in the new era. He described the system of people’s congresses as one of the Party’s major institutional achievements of the past century, offered a systematic explanation of the important concept of whole-process people’s democracy, and put forward the guiding thought, major principles, and main tasks for enhancing and improving the work of people’s congresses. The Party Central Committee then issued the Guidelines on Upholding and Improving the People’s Congress System and Enhancing and Improving the Work of People’s Congresses in the New Era. The Party Central Committee’s major plans and General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech pointed the way forward and provided us with fundamental guidance for carrying out the work of people’s congresses in the new era.
一年來，在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央堅強領導下，全國人大常委會緊跟黨中央重大決策部署，緊貼人民群眾對美好生活的期盼，緊扣推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化的需求，在全面建設社會主義現代化國家新征程上，依法履職，擔當盡責，主要做了以下工作。	Over the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the NPC Standing Committee remained closely aligned with the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and plans, the people’s aspirations for a better life, and the need to modernize China’s system and capacity for governance. We performed our duties in accordance with the law and fulfilled our responsibilities as we embarked on a new journey to develop China into a modern socialist nation in all respects. Our main work of the past year was as follows.
一、進一步完善憲法相關法，維護憲法的最高法律地位、權威和效力	First, we further improved laws relating to the Constitution and safeguarded its supreme legal status, authority, and force.
憲法承載着我們黨的百年奮鬥重大成就和歷史經驗，承載着14億多中國人民共圓民族復興的偉大夢想。推動全面貫徹實施憲法，是常委會的法定職責和光榮使命。	The Constitution carries within it our Party’s major achievements and historical experience from the past century, and it bears the great dream of over 1.4 billion Chinese people to realize national rejuvenation. For the Standing Committee, ensuring the full implementation of the Constitution is both a legal duty and an honorable mission.
貫徹實施憲法，需要憲法相關法不斷完善和發展。制定監察官法，加強黨對監察工作的領導，深化國家監察體制改革，建設高素質專業化監察官隊伍。修改中國人民解放軍選舉全國人大和縣級以上地方各級人大代表的辦法，健全完善軍隊人大代表選舉制度。起草並審議關於第十四屆全國人民代表大會代表名額和選舉問題的決定草案。啟動修改全國人大常委會議事規則，完善全國人大常委會會議制度和工作程序，修正草案已經常委會初次審議。起草並兩次審議地方各級人民代表大會和地方各級人民政府組織法修正草案，提請本次大會審議，經過全體代表的共同努力，一定能夠把這部法律修改好，為地方人大和政府更好履職盡責提供法律支撐。	The implementation of the Constitution demands continuous improvement and development of relevant laws. We enacted the Supervisory Officers Law in order to strengthen Party leadership over supervisory work, advance the reform of the national supervision system, and train high-caliber, professional supervisory officers. To improve the system for electing deputies from the armed forces to people’s congresses, we revised the Measures for Election of Deputies from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army to the NPC and Local People’s Congresses at or above the County Level. We formulated and deliberated a draft decision on the number of deputies to the 14th NPC and on issues related to their election. We began revising the NPC Standing Committee Rules of Procedure in order to improve its meeting system and working procedures. The draft amendments have passed our first review. We drafted and conducted two rounds of deliberation on amendments to the Organic Law of Local People’s Congresses at All Levels and Local People’s Governments at All Levels, which have been submitted to this session for further deliberation. The joint efforts of all present deputies will ensure the successful revision of this law, which will provide legal support for local people’s congresses and governments to better perform their duties.
以憲法和特別行政區基本法為基礎，健全特別行政區憲制秩序和法治秩序，更好落實中央全面管治權和特別行政區高度自治權。根據十三屆全國人大四次會議的相關決定，行使全國人大授予的立法職權，修訂香港基本法附件一和附件二，完善香港特別行政區行政長官的產生辦法、香港特別行政區立法會的產生辦法和表決程序。這兩個附件的修訂，全面貫徹愛國者治港原則，通過重構並賦權香港特別行政區選舉委員會、建立健全有關候選人資格審查制度等，形成一套符合香港法律地位和實際情況的民主選舉制度。新選舉制度使愛國者治港穩穩落地，從政治上、制度上根本性地推動香港形成以憲法和基本法為基礎、真正落實「一國兩制」的良政善治，迎來了支持和保障香港長期繁榮穩定並融入國家發展大局的全新局面。起草並審議香港、澳門特別行政區選舉第十四屆全國人民代表大會代表的兩個辦法草案，提請本次大會審議。	We strengthened constitutional order and the rule of law in the special administrative regions based on China’s constitution and their basic laws to better ensure that the central government exercises overall jurisdiction there and that the two regions enjoy a high degree of autonomy. In accordance with the relevant decision adopted at the fourth session of the 13th NPC, we exercised the legislative power conferred by the NPC to revise and improve Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), respectively titled Method for the Selection of the Chief Executive of the HKSAR and Method for the Formation of the Legislative Council of the HKSAR and Its Voting Procedures, imbuing them with the principle that Hong Kong should be administered by patriots. By restructuring the HKSAR Election Committee and empowering it with new functions, and by establishing a sound system for reviewing the qualifications of election candidates, we saw the formation of a democratic electoral system suited to Hong Kong’s legal status and realities. The new electoral system ensures that Hong Kong is administered by patriots. It provides fundamental political and institutional safeguards for good governance of Hong Kong that is based on China’s constitution and the HKSAR Basic Law and that ensures genuine implementation of the policy of One Country, Two Systems. And it has initiated a new phase of our support for long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and for Hong Kong’s integration into China’s overall development. We formulated and deliberated two draft methods for the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions to elect deputies to the 14th NPC, which have been submitted to this session for deliberation.
憲法規定，全國人大常委會行使解釋憲法、監督憲法實施的職權。在人口與計劃生育法、審計法等法律修改過程中進行合憲性審查研究，闡釋憲法制度的內涵和精神，積極回應社會關切。依法主動審查行政法規16件、監察法規1件、地方性法規1467件、自治條例和單行條例87件、經濟特區法規40件、司法解釋251件、香港特別行政區法律42件、澳門特別行政區法律17件；研究處理公民、組織提出的審查建議6339件；審查研究有關部門移送的141件審查工作建議；集中清理長江保護、行政處罰、人口與計劃生育等3個方面的法規、規章、規範性文件，有重點地開展專項審查，共推動制定機關修改、廢止法規和司法解釋1069件。專題調研設區的市地方立法工作。推動設區的市、自治州人大常委會普遍建立聽取審議備案審查工作報告制度，支持部分省（區、市）建設法規規章規範性文件數據庫。為了更好監督憲法法律實施，制定備案審查銜接聯動的工作規定，修訂備案審查工作規程，成立備案審查專家委員會，按照「有件必備、有備必審、有錯必糾」的原則，糾正違憲違法行為，維護國家法治統一。	As stipulated in the Constitution, we exercised our authority to interpret the Constitution and oversee its implementation. We reviewed and studied issues of constitutionality in the process of revising the Population and Family Planning Law, the Audit Law, and other laws, explained the substance and spirit of the constitutional system, and actively responded to public concerns. Over the last year, in accordance with the law, we took the initiative to review16 administrative regulations, 1 supervisory regulation, 1,467 local regulations, 87 autonomous regulations and separate regulations, 40 special economic zone regulations, 251 judicial interpretations, 42 laws of the HKSAR, and 17 laws of the Macao Special Administrative Region. We studied and processed 6,339 recommendations for review from citizens and organizations, and we reviewed and studied 141 recommendations for review referred to us by relevant departments. We overhauled regulations, rules, and other regulatory documents concerning Yangtze River protection, administrative penalties, and population and family planning, and we conducted targeted reviews in priority areas. In total, we pushed relevant enacting bodies and organs of justice to amend or overturn 1,069 regulations and judicial interpretations. We carried out research projects on local legislation in cities with subsidiary districts. We encouraged the standing committees of local people’s congresses in cities with subsidiary districts and in autonomous prefectures to set up systems for hearing and deliberating reports on the work of recording and review. We supported certain provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government to build databases for their regulations, rules, and other regulatory documents. In order to conduct more effective oversight of the implementation of the Constitution and the law, we formulated rules for coordinating recording and review work, revised relevant working procedures, and established a committee of relevant experts. In accordance with the principle that all documents that are subject to recording be put on record, that all recorded documents be reviewed, and that all errors identified be corrected, we rectified constitutional and statutory violations and maintained the uniformity of China’s legal system.
深入開展憲法宣傳教育。落實憲法宣誓制度，組織5次憲法宣誓儀式，22名常委會任命或決定任命人員進行宣誓，增強國家工作人員的憲法意識、憲法理念。以「全面貫徹實施憲法、發展全過程人民民主」為主題，舉行第八個國家憲法日座談會，推動全社會深刻認識我國憲法的鮮明特徵、本質屬性和巨大功效。	We continued to promote public awareness and education about the Constitution. We implemented a system of pledging allegiance to the Constitution and organized five oath of office ceremonies for 22 officials who were appointed or whose nominations were approved by the Standing Committee, thus raising awareness among public servants of the Constitution and the principles set forth therein. We held a symposium for the eighth National Constitution Day with the theme of ensuring full implementation of the Constitution and developing whole-process people’s democracy, in an effort to boost society-wide understanding of the characteristics, essence, and efficacy of China’s constitution.
二、圍繞黨和國家工作大局加快立法修法步伐，為全面建設社會主義現代化國家提供法律保障	Second, prioritizing the overall work of the Party and the country, we moved faster to formulate and revise laws to provide legal safeguards for building a modern socialist nation in all respects.
全面建設社會主義現代化國家的任務艱巨繁重，各領域立法需求多、要求高。常委會堅持科學立法、民主立法、依法立法，在確保質量的前提下加快立法工作步伐。	To accomplish the challenging mission of building China into a modern socialist nation in all respects, many different areas require high-standard legislation. Adhering to the principle of sound, democratic, and law-based legislation, and maintaining quality standards, the Standing Committee picked up the pace of its legislative work.
立足新發展階段，貫徹新發展理念，構建新發展格局，以高質量立法服務高質量發展，這是人大圍繞中心、服務大局的重要體現。制定鄉村振興促進法，修改種子法，起草並初次審議畜牧法修訂草案，健全鄉村振興的制度措施和體制機制，加大種業知識產權保護力度。修訂科學技術進步法，突出科技創新的戰略地位，完善國家創新體系，推動實現科技自立自強。初次審議反壟斷法修正草案，起草並兩次審議期貨和衍生品法草案，支持和引導資本健康發展。起草並初次審議公司法修訂草案，實質性新增和修改約70條。制定印花稅法，適當簡併稅目、降低稅率，至此，現行18個稅種中已有12個制定了法律。兩次審議並通過審計法修正草案，強化審計監督手段，依法構建審計監督體系。配合「證照分離」改革、優化營商環境，修改道路交通安全法、消防法、進出口商品檢驗法、廣告法、草原法、民用航空法、海關法、食品安全法。按照全面深化改革、推進高水平對外開放要求，制定海南自由貿易港法，作出關於授權國務院在自由貿易試驗區暫時調整適用有關法律規定、在營商環境創新試點城市暫時調整適用計量法有關規定、在部分地區開展房地產稅改革試點工作和授權上海市人大及其常委會制定浦東新區法規等4個決定，確保國家發展、重大改革於法有據。	Standing grounded in the new development stage, applying the new development philosophy, creating a new pattern of development, and promoting high-quality development through high-quality legislation: these are the ways in which the NPC focuses on the central task of economic development and serves the overall interests of the country. We formulated the Rural Revitalization Promotion Law, revised the Seed Law, and drafted and conducted an initial review of revisions to the Animal Husbandry Law to improve the systems, measures, and mechanisms for rural revitalization and to strengthen intellectual property protection in the seed industry. We revised the Scientific and Technological Progress Law to elevate the strategic importance of scientific and technological innovation, improve the national innovation system, and build up self-reliance in science and technology. To support and guide the healthy development of capital, we conducted an initial review of draft amendments to the Anti-Monopoly Law, and we drafted a law on futures and derivatives and reviewed it twice. We drafted and conducted a first review of revisions to the Company Law, making substantive additions of and revisions to about 70 articles. We formulated the Stamp Tax Law, appropriately simplifying the list of taxable items and cutting rates. This means we have now formulated laws on 12 out of the current 18 tax categories. We passed draft amendments to the Audit Law after two reviews, strengthening methods for audit oversight and establishing an audit oversight system in accordance with the law. In coordination with the reform for separating operating permits from business licenses and the effort to improve the business environment, we revised the Road Traffic Safety Law, the Fire Prevention and Control Law, the Import and Export Commodity Inspection Law, the Advertising Law, the Grassland Law, the Civil Aviation Law, the Customs Law, and the Food Safety Law. In line with the requirements to deepen reform across the board and pursue high-standard opening up, we formulated the Hainan Free Trade Port Law. We also made four decisions which provided a legal basis for national development and major reforms: authorizing the State Council to temporarily adjust the application of certain laws in pilot free trade zones; authorizing the State Council to temporarily adjust the application of certain provisions of the Metrology Law in pilot cities for business environment innovation; authorizing the State Council to launch reform trials for property tax in certain regions; and authorizing the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and its standing committee to formulate regulations for Pudong New Area.
法律是國家安全的制度基石。貫徹總體國家安全觀，加快構建國家安全領域法律制度體系，是本屆常委會立法工作的一項重要內容。制定數據安全法，提升國家數據安全保障能力。起草並審議通過陸地國界法，依法規範陸地國界的劃定、勘定、防衛、管理和建設等活動。修訂海上交通安全法。制定反外國制裁法，健全完善反制裁、反干涉、反制「長臂管轄」的法律制度。根據這部法律，任何國家以任何藉口、任何方式干涉中國內政，損害我國國家、組織和個人利益的行為，我國都有權採取相應反制措施，堅決捍衛國家主權、安全、發展利益，堅決保護我國公民、組織的合法權益。貫徹習近平強軍思想，制定軍人地位和權益保障法，修訂兵役法、軍事設施保護法，作出關於深化國防動員體制改革期間暫時調整適用相關法律規定、中國人民解放軍現役士兵銜級制度等兩個決定，以法律制度保障強軍目標的實現。	The law is the institutional bedrock upon which national security is built. Adopting a holistic approach to national security and accelerating the establishment of a legal system supporting national security constitute an important part of the legislative work of the Standing Committee of the 13th NPC. We formulated the Data Security Law to enhance China’s capacity to ensure data security. We drafted, reviewed, and adopted the Land Border Law to regulate the demarcation, surveying, defense, management, and development of land borders in accordance with the law. We revised the Maritime Traffic Safety Law. We formulated the Law on Countering Foreign Sanctions to improve the legal system for opposing foreign sanctions, interference, and long-arm jurisdiction. According to this law, in order to resolutely defend China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests and resolutely safeguard the lawful rights and interests of its citizens and organizations, China has the right to take proportional countermeasures in response to any country’s acts of any form or under any pretense that interfere in China’s internal affairs or harm its national interests or the interests of its citizens and organizations. To implement Xi Jinping’s thinking on strengthening the armed forces, we formulated the Law on the Protection of the Status, Rights, and Interests of Servicepersons, revised the Military Service Law and the Military Facilities Protection Law, and made a decision on temporarily adjusting the application of certain laws during the reform of the national defense mobilization system and a decision on the rank system for active-duty enlisted service members in the People’s Liberation Army. We thus used the legal system to ensure that targets for military development are met.

After in-depth research and discussions, we drew up and conducted a first review of a draft law on black soil conservation in an effort to provide legal protection for this precious resource. We guided the provincial people’s congresses of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in jointly launching legislation on conservation of the Chishui River basin, and we guided the Hebei Provincial People’s Congress to do the same for Lake Baiyangdian, with the aim of promoting comprehensive, systematic, and law-based conservation.

When the reform trials we had authorized for improving civil litigation procedures were about to expire, we performed a comprehensive review and then revised the Civil Procedure Law accordingly to consolidate reform achievements. This led to the improvement of the judicial confirmation process, small claims litigation procedures, and simplified procedures and enhanced judicial efficiency and impartiality. We made a decision to authorize the Supreme People’s Court to launch reform trials for defining the respective adjudicative functions of the four levels of courts. We made a decision on establishing the Chengdu-Chongqing Financial Court to foster a law-based, healthy financial environment.
一年來，制定法律17件，修改法律22件，作出有關法律問題和重大問題的決定10件，正在審議的法律案19件，決定批准雙邊條約和加入國際公約6件，與時俱進完善中國特色社會主義法律體系，及時反映新時代黨和國家事業發展新要求，及時把黨的主張通過法定程序轉化為國家意志和人民共同行動。	Over the past year, we formulated 17 laws, revised 22 laws, and made 10 decisions on legal issues and major issues, and we are currently reviewing 19 legislative proposals.

With these timely efforts, we improved China’s socialist legal system in step with the times, we responded to the new development requirements of the Party and the country in the new era, and we translated the Party’s propositions into the will of the state and the collective action of the people.

人民代表大會制度的重要原則和制度設計的基本要求，就是任何國家機關及其工作人員的權力都要受到監督和制約。常委會認真履行憲法法律賦予的監督職責，統籌運用法定監督方式，推動解決制約經濟社會發展的突出矛盾和問題，確保法律法規得到有效實施，確保各國家機關都在憲法法律範圍內履行職責、開展工作，確保行政權、監察權、審判權、檢察權依法正確行使。堅持正確監督、有效監督、依法監督，聽取、審議31個報告，檢查6部法律實施情況，進行2次專題詢問，開展7項專題調研，作出1項決議。	An important principle of the people’s congress system and a basic requirement of its institutional design is that the power of all state organs and their staff must be subject to oversight and constraints. Last year, we diligently performed our constitutionally and legally prescribed oversight duties and employed various statutory oversight methods to help solve prominent issues impeding China’s economic and social development. Our oversight ensured that laws and regulations were effectively implemented, that all state organs performed their duties and carried out their work within the scope prescribed by the Constitution and the law, and that administrative, supervisory, adjudicatory, and procuratorial powers were properly exercised in accordance with the law. Committed to exercising appropriate, effective, and law-based oversight, we heard and deliberated 31 reports, carried out inspections on the implementation of 6 laws, conducted 2 special inquiries, launched 7 research projects, and adopted 1 resolution.

We heard and deliberated a report on the central final accounts for 2020, which we approved after reviewing. In this process, we put more emphasis on performance and expanded the scope of performance-based evaluations of key programs, involving funds totaling 1.7 trillion yuan. We heard and deliberated a report on budget execution, and we exercised follow-up oversight of the direct provision and use of 2.8 trillion yuan in central government funds. We heard and deliberated an audit report on central budget execution and other fiscal revenues and expenditures for 2020 and a report on the rectification of problems discovered through that audit. In monitoring the execution of fiscal and tax policies to ensure their effective implementation, we oversaw relevant government departments』 investigations into and handling of issues like irregularities in tax rebates, indiscriminate government borrowing, and misappropriation of environmental protection funds. With further progress in developing an online budget oversight system, we achieved preliminary success in coordinating work and sharing data between different departments at different levels. We also made headway in establishing local liaison offices for our Budgetary Affairs Commission.
開展預算審查監督重點拓展改革和國有資產管理情況監督，是本屆以來黨中央賦予人大的新職責新要求。聽取審議關於財政交通運輸資金分配和使用情況的報告，開展財政補貼管理與改革情況專題調研，推動科技創新、環境保護、社會保障、衛生健康、鄉村振興等支持政策落地，確保財政支出重點支持和保障黨中央重大決策部署的貫徹落實。連續4年審議關於國有資產管理情況的年度綜合報告和專項報告，加快推進國資聯網監督工作。制定關於設立國有自然資源資產管理人大監督評價指標體系的意見，首次聽取審議關於國有自然資源資產管理情況的專項報告，推動國務院基本摸清全民所有的11類主要國有自然資源資產家底，實現了企業國有資產、金融企業國有資產、行政事業性國有資產、國有自然資源資產四大類別國有資產管理情況監督全覆蓋。這些監督，起到了防止國有自然資源遭受損害、國有資產遭到流失的作用。國務院審計部門首次向全國人大常委會提交國有資產審計情況專項報告。修訂常委會關於加強中央預算審查監督的決定、加強經濟工作監督的決定，構建預算審查、經濟工作監督的長效機制。推動出台和貫徹落實黨中央關於加強地方人大對政府債務審查監督的意見，有效防範化解地方政府債務風險。	Since the beginning of the current NPC’s term, the Party Central Committee has entrusted it with new responsibilities and requirements to carry out reform for expanding the focus of budgetary examination and oversight and to conduct oversight of state-owned asset management. Last year we heard and deliberated a report on the allocation and use of government funds for transportation, carried out research on the management and reform of government subsidies, and advanced the implementation of policies supporting scientific and technological innovation, environmental protection, social security, healthcare, and rural revitalization. In these endeavors, we ensured that fiscal expenditures prioritized the execution of major decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee. For the fourth consecutive year, we deliberated the annual comprehensive report and a special report on the management of state-owned assets. We moved faster to advance online oversight of state-owned assets. We formulated guidelines on setting up a system of standards for NPC oversight and evaluation of state-owned natural resource asset management; we heard and deliberated the first-ever special report on state-owned natural resource asset management; and we encouraged the State Council to establish a rough inventory of 11 major categories of such assets that belong to the whole people. We now exercise oversight over the management of all four classes of state-owned assets: assets held by non-financial enterprises, assets held by financial enterprises, assets held by government offices and public institutions, and natural resource assets. Our oversight has had the effect of preventing damage to state-owned natural resources and losses of state-owned assets. For the first time, the audit office of the State Council submitted a special report to the Standing Committee on an audit of state-owned assets. We revised our decisions to strengthen examination and oversight of central budgets and to strengthen oversight over economic work in an effort to establish long-term mechanisms. In order to effectively guard against and mitigate local government debt risks, we pushed for the issuance and implementation of Party Central Committee guidelines for strengthening the examination and oversight of government debt by local people’s congresses.
加強對法律實施情況的監督。堅持依照法定職責、限於法定範圍、遵守法定程序，逐條對照法律條文開展執法檢查。檢查企業破產法、中醫藥法、畜牧法、固體廢物污染環境防治法、公證法、消防法6部法律的實施情況，共有23個檢查小組分赴各省（區、市）實地檢查，委員長會議組成人員分別帶隊，常委會委員和專門委員會成員133人次、全國人大代表66人次參加執法檢查工作。常委會會議聽取審議了6個執法檢查報告。在檢查固體廢物污染環境防治法實施情況時，首次組織全國人大代表開展專題調研，共有13個省（區、市）的240名代表參加。結合聯組審議執法檢查報告開展專題詢問，做好法律實施情況評估，統籌做好執法檢查和法律宣傳普及，在「學習強國」平台開展固體廢物污染環境防治法答題活動，共約3200萬人參加，推動法律全面有效貫徹落實。在檢查企業破產法實施情況時，充分運用法律評估和大數據分析，與關聯法律分析相結合，為更好實施法律、修改法律提供依據。	We intensified oversight of the implementation of the law. In compliance with our statutory duties, acting within our statutory scope of authority, and following statutory procedures, we conducted inspections into the implementation of laws on an article-by-article basis. We inspected the implementation of six laws: the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Law, the Animal Husbandry Law, the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes, the Notarization Law, and the Fire Prevention and Control Law. A total of 23 inspection teams led by members of the Council of Chairpersons were sent to provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government across the country, with attendance of members of the Standing Committee and various special committees reaching 133 and attendance of NPC deputies reaching 66. These inspections resulted in six reports, which have been heard and deliberated by the Standing Committee. When inspecting the implementation of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes, we organized the first-ever research project for NPC deputies, with participation by 240 deputies from 13 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government. We conducted a special inquiry based on joint group deliberations of the inspection report so as to ensure an accurate evaluation of the Law’s implementation status. Coordinating our inspections with efforts to raise public legal awareness, we launched a quiz about the Law on an online learning platform, attracting approximately 32 million participants and helping to ensure the Law’s full and effective implementation. When inspecting the implementation of the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, we made full use of legal assessment tools and big data analysis. Combined with scrutiny of related laws, these methods provided good reference for better implementation and revision of the Law in the future.
加強監察、司法工作監督，維護社會公平正義。開展推進監察監督全覆蓋情況專題調研，增強監察監督的有效性。聽取審議最高人民法院關於知識產權審判工作情況的報告、關於專利等知識產權案件訴訟程序若干問題決定實施情況的報告，最高人民檢察院關於辦理控告申訴案件工作情況的報告。聽取審議關於「七五」普法決議貫徹落實情況的報告，通過關於開展第八個五年法治宣傳教育的決議，為實現《法治社會建設實施綱要（2020－2025年）》提出的到2025年「八五」普法規劃實施完成、法治觀念深入人心等目標任務提供有力支撐。	We stepped up oversight of supervisory and judicial work to safeguard social fairness and justice. We conducted research on the progress of efforts to extend supervisory oversight over all public employees, with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of supervisory oversight. We heard and deliberated reports from the Supreme People’s Court on adjudication involving intellectual property rights and on its implementation of the Standing Committee decision on issues regarding litigation procedures for cases involving patents and other intellectual property rights, as well as a report from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on handling lawsuits and appeals. We also heard and deliberated a report on the implementation of the resolution on the seventh five-year initiative to raise public awareness of the rule of law, and we adopted a resolution to launch the eighth five-year initiative. In doing so, we provided a strong foundation for accomplishing the goals laid out in the Outline for Building a Law-Based Society (2020–2025), including those to complete work on the eighth five-year initiative and to have the people fully embrace the rule of law by 2025.
四、支持和保障代表依法履職，使發揮代表作用成為人民當家作主的重要體現	Fourth, we provided support and safeguards for deputies to carry out their duties in accordance with the law and made sure that the idea of the people as masters of the country was reflected in how our deputies played their roles.
人大代表是國家權力機關的組成人員，代表人民參加行使國家權力，在發展全過程人民民主中發揮着重要作用。常委會遵循和把握代表工作規律，不斷提高代表工作水平，密切國家機關同人大代表的聯繫，密切人大代表同人民群眾的聯繫，發揮代表作為黨和國家聯繫人民群眾的橋梁作用。	Deputies to people’s congresses are members of organs of state power, and they participate in the exercise of state power on behalf of the people, thus playing an important role in developing whole-process people’s democracy. Complying with the principles underpinning our work related to deputies, we further improved our performance and enhanced deputies』 ties with state organs and the general public to help them serve as the bridge that links the Party and the country with the people.
提出議案和建議，是代表行使權利、依法履職的重要內容。十三屆全國人大四次會議期間代表提出的473件議案，已由相關專門委員會全部審議完畢，其中90件議案涉及的30個立法項目已審議通過或正在審議，176件議案涉及的68個立法項目已列入立法規劃或計劃。大會期間代表提出的8993件建議，統一交由194家承辦單位研究辦理並全部辦理完畢；閉會期間代表提出的265件建議，交由98家承辦單位研究辦理並逐一向代表反饋辦理情況，推動解決了一批實際問題。代表對建議辦理工作表示滿意或基本滿意的達97.93%。	Submitting proposals and suggestions is an important way for deputies to exercise their rights and perform their duties in accordance with the law. All 473 proposals deputies put forward during the fourth session of the 13th NPC were reviewed by special committees. Among these, 30 legislative projects addressed in 90 proposals were reviewed and adopted or are currently under review, and 68 legislative projects addressed in 176 proposals have been included in our five-year or annual legislative plan. All 8,993 suggestions submitted by deputies during that session were forwarded to 194 organizations for examination and handling, which has now been completed. The 265 suggestions that were raised when the NPC was not in session were handed over to 98 organizations for examination and handling. These organizations have reported back to deputies on how each of their suggestions has been handled. As a result, a number of practical issues have been solved. Approximately 97.93 percent of deputies reported being satisfied or basically satisfied with how their suggestions were handled.
加強與代表的聯繫，把常委會工作建立在堅實的民意基礎之上。常委會組成人員中，有156位直接聯繫439名基層代表。專門委員會、工作委員會也建立了聯繫代表的機制。邀請150餘人次代表列席常委會會議、參加列席代表座談會，代表在座談會上提出的78條意見建議均及時辦理並逐一向代表通報。200多人次代表應邀參加常委會立法調研、起草、論證、評估等工作，濕地保護法、體育法等與人民群眾利益息息相關的重要法律草案專門徵求相關領域代表的意見。300多人次代表參加常委會執法檢查、專題調研、計劃和預算審查監督、國有資產管理監督、對外交往等工作。	We strengthened our ties with deputies and grounded our work in the will of the people. Among the members of the Standing Committee, 156 maintain direct contact with 439 deputies working at the primary level. NPC special committees and Standing Committee working bodies have also put in place mechanisms for staying in contact with deputies. We sent more than 150 invitations to deputies to attend Standing Committee meetings in a nonvoting capacity and to join follow-up deputy discussions, and we promptly handled all 78 of their opinions and suggestions from the follow-up discussions, offering individualized feedback for each. Deputies were invited to attend various Standing Committee activities, such as legislative research, drafting, debates, and assessments, with total attendance exceeding 200. For drafts of important laws concerning the immediate interests of the general public such as the Wetlands Protection Law and the Physical Culture and Sports Law, we solicited advice from deputies with backgrounds in relevant sectors. There were over 300 instances of deputies participating in the work of the Standing Committee, including inspections into the implementation of laws, research projects, plan and budget examination and oversight, state-owned asset management oversight, and international exchanges.
積極做好代表活動的保障工作。共有1600餘人次代表參加集中視察、專題調研活動，形成百餘篇調研報告。共473名代表參加國務院及其有關部門組織的督察和座談，471名代表參加最高人民法院開展的視察調研、旁聽庭審和會議座談等活動，465名代表參加檢察機關組織的視察和會議。組織香港全國人大代表通過視頻連線方式，視察新疆經濟社會發展和民族團結情況。組織澳門全國人大代表赴海南調研自由貿易港建設情況。上海、江蘇、浙江、安徽等省市的部分全國人大代表圍繞「長江流域禁捕執法監管情況」等開展聯合調研和視察。	We worked actively to support deputies in carrying out their activities.

A total of 473 deputies participated in inspections and discussions organized by the State Council and its departments; 471 attended court trials or participated in meetings, forums, inspections, and research activities organized by the Supreme People’s Court; and 465 took part in inspections and meetings organized by procuratorial bodies. We arranged for Hong Kong deputies to the NPC to remotely inspect economic and social development and ethnic solidarity in Xinjiang via video. We also arranged for NPC deputies from Macao to travel to Hainan province to conduct research on the development of the free trade port there. Some NPC deputies from provinces and municipalities including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui carried out joint field research and inspections on issues such as the enforcement and supervision of the Yangtze River basin fishing ban.
加強代表履職能力建設。組織全國人大代表專題學習黨史、新中國史、改革開放史、社會主義發展史，現場或視頻收看建黨百年慶祝活動，港澳全國人大代表分別前往革命舊址參觀學習，開展愛黨愛國愛社會主義主題活動。建成全國人大代表工作信息化平台。採取線上線下相結合方式，舉辦6期專題學習班，共有5824人次代表參加學習。代表在履職活動中，忠實代表人民利益和意志，展現了「人民選我當代表、我當代表為人民」的責任擔當，提出的議案、建議裝着滿滿的民意，體現了我國社會主義民主不僅有完整的制度程序，而且有完整的參與實踐，是最廣泛、最真實、最管用的全過程人民民主。	We helped deputies improve their ability to perform duties. We arranged for NPC deputies to study the history of the CPC, the People’s Republic of China, reform and opening up, and the development of socialism, and we arranged for them to attend celebrations of the Party’s centenary in-person or tune in via video. We also arranged visits to revolutionary sites for deputies from Hong Kong and Macao to strengthen their love for the Party, the country, and socialism. We built an online NPC deputy work platform. We held six online and offline special study sessions with a total deputy attendance of 5,824. In performing their duties, our deputies faithfully represented the interests and will of the people, showed a strong sense of commitment to the people as their elected representatives, and reflected public opinion in their proposals and suggestions. This proved that China’s socialist democracy not only has a complete set of institutions and procedures, but it also has full-fledged civil participation, and it is a whole-process people’s democracy to the broadest extent, of the truest nature, and to the greatest effect possible.
根據黨中央統一部署，貫徹落實新修改的選舉法，常委會加強對縣鄉人大換屆選舉工作的指導，做好選舉相關工作。目前，新一輪縣鄉人大換屆選舉已基本完成，全國10億多選民直接選舉產生200多萬名縣鄉兩級人大代表。	In line with the overall arrangements of the Party Central Committee and in accordance with the newly-revised Electoral Law, we stepped up guidance on elections of people’s congresses at the county and township levels to ensure their success. At present, elections for new people’s congresses at the county and township levels have been largely completed across the country, and over two million deputies have been directly elected by more than one billion voters.
五、緊緊圍繞國家總體外交目標任務，推進人大對外工作	Fifth, focusing closely on China’s overall diplomatic objectives and tasks, we advanced the NPC’s international exchanges.

落實國家元首外交共識，積極開展高層交往，深化立法機構雙邊交流。舉行中俄議會合作委員會第七次會議，首次舉辦中俄立法機構地方合作會議，同俄羅斯聯邦會議有關委員會、青年議員開展交流，助推新時代中俄關係高水平發展。同63個國家議會進行線上線下交流，通過132個友好小組平台與各國議會互致信函，爭取在有關重大問題上支持中方立場，增進政治互信，促進務實合作。就涉疆、涉藏、涉港、涉台、涉海、涉疫和人權等問題闡明中方嚴正立場，堅決同各種圍堵、打壓、搗亂、顛覆活動進行鬥爭，同企圖顛覆中國共產黨領導和我國社會主義制度、企圖遲滯甚至阻斷中華民族偉大復興進程的一切勢力鬥爭到底。	To implement diplomatic consensus between heads of state, we actively carried out high-level exchanges and deepened bilateral exchanges between legislatures. We held the seventh meeting of the China-Russia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and the first cooperation meeting between local-level Chinese and Russian legislative bodies, and we carried out exchanges with relevant committees of the Federal Assembly of Russia and with young Russian parliamentarians. These activities helped to boost high-level development of China-Russia relations in the new era. We held online and offline exchanges with parliaments of 63 countries and exchanged letters with foreign parliaments through 132 friendship groups in the hope of winning support for China’s stances on certain major issues, enhancing political trust, and promoting practical cooperation. In response to questions related to Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, territorial waters, Covid-19, and human rights, we made clear China’s position and stood firm against all forms of encirclement, suppression, disruption, and subversion, determined to fight to the end against any attempt to subvert the leadership of the Communist Party of China or our country’s socialist system or to hinder or obstruct China’s advance toward national rejuvenation.
積極參與議會多邊活動，推動形成更多體現中國特色、中國方案的多邊成果。參加第五次世界議長大會、第四次六國議長會議、第七屆二十國集團議長會議、「議員在鞏固國際和平與信任中的作用」議會領導人會議、集體安全條約組織議會大會、金磚國家議會論壇、各國議會聯盟大會及相關會議、亞太議會論壇、亞洲議會大會、東盟各國間議會大會、中國－阿拉伯國家友好組織領導人線上會晤，面向中亞、非洲國家議會舉辦3期地區研討班，鞏固發展友好合作關係，主動發出中國聲音，推動以人民為中心、人類命運共同體、全球發展倡議、共建「一帶一路」、人類衛生健康共同體、團結抗疫、可持續發展等中方重大理念倡議寫入會議成果文件，堅定維護我國家利益，維護公平正義的國際秩序。不少國家議會、議長、議員高度評價中方在全球抗疫中的貢獻、承諾和行動，支持中方秉承科學精神、團結合作抗疫的立場。	We took an active part in multilateral parliamentary events and worked to produce more multilateral outcomes that reflect Chinese characteristics and approaches.

We stood firm in protecting China’s national interests and preserving a fair and just international order. Parliaments, parliamentary leaders, and parliamentarians of many countries highly commended China’s contributions, commitments, and actions in the global anti-Covid effort and supported China’s stance of respecting science and working together to fight the pandemic.
加強對外宣介工作。利用雙邊多邊外交舞台，積極宣傳習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想，深入交流治國理政經驗，介紹中國共產黨百年奮鬥重大成就和歷史經驗。通過常委會發言人、外事委發言人、法工委發言人等機制正聲闢謠，闡釋法律問題，進行法律鬥爭。依託人民代表大會制度實踐，生動展示全過程人民民主理念。30多位基層人大代表參與人大外事活動，講述自己參加行使國家權力、服務人民利益的履職故事，真實立體地呈現中國道路、中國制度、中國成就。	We strengthened our international communications and outreach. At bilateral and multilateral diplomatic events, we actively promoted understanding of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, held in-depth exchanges on governance experience, and shared with the world the Party’s major achievements and historical experience over the past century. Through the spokespeople of the Standing Committee, the NPC Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Standing Committee’s Legislative Affairs Commission, we stood up in legal conflicts by clarifying facts, refuting rumors, and explaining legal issues. Through the work of the people’s congress system, we vividly demonstrated the idea of whole-process people’s democracy. Over 30 NPC deputies from the primary level participated in our foreign affairs activities, sharing their stories of participating in the exercise of state power and serving public interests and presenting an accurate, three-dimensional picture of China’s path, system, and achievements.
六、推進全過程人民民主建設，堅持人大常委會基本定位，加強人大常委會自身建設	Sixth, we advanced whole-process people’s democracy and intensified self-improvement efforts in line with our fundamental identity.
堅持政治堅定、尊崇法治、發揚民主、服務人民、運行高效，提高人大工作質量和水平，把全國人大及其常委會建設成為自覺堅持中國共產黨領導的政治機關、保證人民當家作主的國家權力機關、全面擔負憲法法律賦予的各項職責的工作機關、始終同人民群眾保持密切聯繫的代表機關。	By maintaining political resolve, respecting the rule of law, promoting democracy, serving the people, and functioning with high efficiency, we worked hard to improve the quality of our work. We worked to build the NPC and its Standing Committee into political institutions that consciously uphold the Party’s leadership, institutions of state power that ensure the running of the country by the people, working institutions that assume functions conferred in the Constitution and the law, and representative institutions that always maintain close ties with the people.
切實加強理論武裝。學深悟透做實習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想這一黨和國家指導思想，確保人大工作沿着正確的方向前進。發揮常委會黨組的政治領導作用，召開17次常委會黨組會議，舉辦常委會黨組集體學習、常委會專題講座，及時傳達學習貫徹黨的創新理論和黨中央重大決策部署。紮實開展黨史學習教育，學習貫徹黨的十九屆六中全會精神，從黨的百年奮鬥史中汲取智慧和力量。學習貫徹中央人大工作會議精神，列入常委會會議議程進行專題學習，召開深入學習貫徹習近平總書記關于堅持和完善人民代表大會制度的重要思想第四次交流會。建立常委會黨組定期聽取專門委員會分黨組黨建工作匯報的制度，全面加強專門委員會黨的建設。	We enhanced theoretical competence. We thoroughly studied, understood, and put into action Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which is guiding thought for the Party and the country, to ensure that the work of the NPC moves forward in the right direction. Giving play to the role of the leading Party members』 group of the Standing Committee in providing political leadership, we organized 17 group meetings, held group study sessions, and hosted Standing Committee lectures, promptly communicating, studying, and implementing the Party’s new theories and the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and plans.

把全過程人民民主貫徹落實到人大立法、監督、代表等工作各方面各環節全過程。完善人大的民主民意表達平台和載體，健全吸納民意、匯集民智的工作機制，推進人大協商、立法協商，把各方面社情民意統一於最廣大人民根本利益之中。建立22個基層立法聯繫點，其中增設12個，覆蓋全國三分之二省份，帶動省、市兩級人大常委會建立立法聯繫點4700餘個。增加法律草案徵求意見系統和法規審查建議受理平台鏈接。34件法律草案通過中國人大網公開徵求意見，共收到108221人次提出的475245條意見。各地共有22萬多個代表之家、代表聯絡站等履職平台，成為全國人大代表就近參加履職活動的有效途徑。完善人大信訪工作機制，用好各級信訪平台和數據，信訪總量105956件次，其中網上信訪平台受理12207件次。	We advanced whole-process people’s democracy in every aspect and throughout the entire process of our legislative, oversight, and deputy-related work. We improved the NPC’s democratic platforms and vehicles through which the general public can express opinions, refined working mechanisms for soliciting public comments and collecting ideas from the people, and advanced consultation through people’s congresses and on legislative issues, in an effort to protect the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people by taking into account all aspects of social conditions and public sentiment. We have established 22 local legislative outreach offices (adding 12 last year), which now cover two thirds of China’s provinces. This has inspired standing committees of provincial and municipal people’s congresses to establish more than 4,700 legislative outreach offices of their own. On the NPC website, we added links to the system for soliciting public comments on draft laws and to the platform for receiving and processing recommendations for regulation review. Public comments were solicited through the NPC website on 34 draft laws, and we received 475,245 opinions from 108,221 visits. There are a total of over 220,000 liaison and outreach offices for deputies to people’s congresses around the country. These serve as an effective channel for NPC deputies to perform their duties close to home. We improved the NPC’s mechanisms for handling letters and visits from the public by making better use of relevant platforms and data at various levels. We received a total of 105,956 letters and visits, including 12,207 through the online platform.
健全常委會運行制度和工作機制。完善人大主導立法工作的程序和機制，常委會審議的68件法律草案、決定草案中，由相關專門委員會、工作委員會牽頭起草的有34件，占總數的一半。由其他部門或單位負責起草的法律草案，人大提前介入，做好組織協調，發揮審議把關作用。出台關於加強立法調研工作、改進法律草案徵求部門和地方意見工作等實施意見。制定常委會執法檢查工作辦法，引入法律評估、大數據分析、關聯法律分析方法，規範執法檢查工作流程。出台關於完善聽取審議專項工作報告前期工作流程、加強專門委員會調研成果轉化的研究意見。完善代表議案、建議辦理機制，強化綜合分析和跟蹤督辦。健全代表學習培訓制度。專門委員會、工作委員會根據新修改的全國人大議事規則，完善委員會議事程序、工作規則。適應數字時代對人大工作的新要求，開通國家法律法規數據庫及微信小程序，建設好運用好「全國人大日曆」數據庫，提升大會網絡視頻會議、「雲聽會」質量。共召開7次常委會會議，審議各類議案、報告189件次，會議出席率超過95%。召開25次委員長會議，每逢單月增加一次委員長會議，專門研究討論擬提請常委會會議表決通過的法律草案。	We improved our operational systems and working mechanisms. We improved the procedures and mechanisms for legislative work led by the NPC. Among the 68 draft laws and decisions deliberated by the Standing Committee, drafting work on half was led by relevant special committees and working bodies. With regard to draft laws that were prepared by other departments or organizations, the NPC was involved in the early stages of their formulation and provided effective organization and coordination, as well as quality assurance support through its deliberations. We introduced guidelines on issues such as strengthening research for legislative work and better soliciting opinions on draft laws from relevant departments and local organizations. We formulated measures for Standing Committee inspections of implementation of the law, adopting new methods of legal assessment, big data analysis, and analysis of relevant laws and standardizing the inspection process. We issued guidelines on improving the preliminary work process for hearing and deliberating work reports on specific issues and on better applying special committees』 research results.

各位代表！	Fellow Deputies,
過去一年取得的成績，是在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央堅強領導下，全國人大代表、常委會組成人員、專門委員會成員以及全國人大機關工作人員辛勤工作的結果，是國務院、國家監察委員會、最高人民法院、最高人民檢察院密切配合的結果，是地方各級人大及其常委會大力支持的結果，是全國各族人民積極參與、充分信任的結果。在此，我代表全國人大常委會表示衷心感謝！	Our achievements over the past year were made under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. They are the result of the diligent work of the NPC deputies, the members of the NPC Standing Committee and special committees, and the staff of the NPC bodies. They are the result of close cooperation from the State Council, the National Commission of Supervision, the Supreme People’s Court, and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. They are the result of the strong support of local people’s congresses at all levels and their standing committees. And they are the result of the active participation and full trust of the entire Chinese people. On behalf of the Standing Committee, I would like to express our sincere gratitude.
我們也深刻認識到，在工作中還有差距和不足，主要是：立法工作質量和效率需要進一步提升，在立法工作中的主導作用發揮得還不夠充分；監督工作的實效性需要進一步提升，監督工作成果轉化運用的制度機制還不夠完善；服務代表依法履職的工作水平需要進一步提升，辦理代表議案、建議過程中與代表的溝通交流還不夠深入。常委會高度重視這些問題，將不斷加強自身能力建設，改進提升工作質量和水平，切實擔負起憲法法律賦予我們的光榮職責。	We are also keenly aware that there are areas in need of improvement in our work. These mainly include the following. The quality and efficiency of legislation need to be further raised, and we need to more fully play our leading role in legislation. Oversight needs to be more effective, and we need to improve the systems and mechanisms for putting discoveries made throughout the oversight process to use. We need to better serve our deputies as they carry out their duties in accordance with the law, and we need to improve our communications with them as we process their proposals and suggestions. The Standing Committee attaches high importance to these problems. We will constantly improve ourselves and the quality of our work so that we can better perform the honorable duties conferred upon us by the Constitution and the law.
