At the press conference of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress held on the 4th, Wang Chao, the spokesman of the Congress, said that China's election of deputies to the National People's Congress is the largest democratic election in the world, and is a vivid practice of people's democracy in the whole process of China. China's deputies to the National People's Congress have broad representativeness, and there are deputies to the National People's Congress in every region, industry, field and ethnic group. Among the deputies to the people's congresses at all levels, the grass-roots people account for a considerable proportion. For example, among the more than 2.62 million deputies to the people's congresses at the county and township levels, grass-roots representatives such as front-line workers, farmers and professional technicians accounted for 52.53% of the deputies to the people's congresses at the county level and 76.75% of the deputies to the people's congresses at the township level. Wang Chao said that of the 2977 deputies to the 14th National People's Congress, 442 were from ethnic minorities, accounting for 14.85% of the total number of deputies. All 55 ethnic minorities in the country are represented; 42 representatives of returned overseas Chinese; 790 women representatives, accounting for 26.54% of the total number of representatives; There were 497 front-line workers and farmers' representatives, accounting for 16.69% of the total number of representatives. Wang Chao said that in terms of close contact between representatives and the masses, more than 200000 representative homes and representative liaison stations have been set up across the country, basically realizing the "full coverage" of towns and streets. People's congresses at all levels, relying on platforms such as the House of Representatives and the Liaison Station of Representatives, and in combination with the functions and powers of the People's Congress, have extensively organized representatives to thoroughly understand the people's feelings and opinions, actively speak for the people's representatives, promote the solution of the urgent problems raised by the people, and highlight the advantages of the People's Congress system.
