Newly elected NPC deputies from Shanghai were given an opportunity to share their ideas with the city's delegation on Sunday in a discussion ahead of the annual session of the top legislature.The meeting, which is unique to the Shanghai delegation, was aimed at helping National People's Congress deputies - especially those attending for the first time - put forward higher-quality proposals.Deputies discussed 14 proposals, with issues ranging from legislation on personal information protection to amending the Road Traffic Safety Law.The Shanghai delegation to the NPC has a very good tradition of dividing deputies into different groups based on the various topics they focus on, as well as organizing meetings ... to formulate higher-quality motions and suggestions, said Zheng Haisheng, deputy director of a work committee under the Shanghai People's Congress Standing Committee.More than half of the delegation this year are serving their first five-year term as deputies, he said. So we need such communication to learn from each other and formulate motions that will be powerful enough to eventually influence legislation and policymaking, he added.Ten deputies, six of whom are newly elected, spent up to five minutes talking about the reasons behind their legislative suggestions, explaining the current laws and policies, and offering possible solutions.Fan Yun, who was re-elected to the NPC this year, introduced her suggestion to increase supervision of ride-hailing services.These platforms must be brought under the oversight of traffic authorities, and their practices of refusing to take passengers and randomly raising prices must be curbed and punished, said Fan, who is chairwoman of Shanghai Fushen State Assets Evaluation Co.The opinions of citizens, especially the elderly, must be widely collected for such policy decisions.Chen Li, meanwhile, introduced his suggestion of making a national law covering the protection of personal information. He said channels to obtain citizens' personal data online are growing, and big data technology and illegal transactions in this area are increasingly common.Although there are some legal provisions throughout various laws, they are far from enough to curb many illegal practices, according to Chen, who is Party secretary and general manager of the Shanghai branch of China Mobile.For example, the current laws and regulations don't touch on how civil compensation should be carried out if someone's practice of selling others' personal information does not constitute a criminal offense, he said.Only suggestions that receive the support of at least 30 deputies, or those submitted by a delegation, will become motions and be presented to the NPC for discussion.Some deputies are still mulling their suggestions, with the deadline for submissions at noon on [email protected]wristbands canadacustom silicone bracelets canadarubber bracelets canadasilicone bracelets canadasilicone wristbands canadacustom wristbands canadacanadian wristbandswristbands canada
The fine art masterpiece Along the River During the Qingming Festival by 12th-century painter Zhang Zeduan is indisputably the best-known ancient Chinese painting.The 5.28-meter scrolled painting gives a panoramic portrayal of flourishing urban life covering all social classes in Bianliang (today's Kaifeng in Henan province), which was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). It is now housed in Beijing's Palace Museum.Museum visitors will be able to take a virtual boat ride along the river to get immersed in the prosperous scene of Bianliang, which is displayed in the painting, thanks to digital technology. It is scheduled to open to the public in May.Wang Yamin, deputy director of the Palace Museum and a member of 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, revealed the project to China Daily on the sidelines of the two sessions.People can closely observe the landscape by taking a trip on the water, he said. After that, they can do some shopping in Bianliang. We'll also develop related souvenirs.The trip will last 40 minutes, combining virtual reality and full-dome movie technologies, Wang said.Making people wear VR glasses for too long will make them dizzy, he said. We'll get rid of the glasses to offer a more comfortable experience.The Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, was the home of the imperial court from 1420 to 1911. It was the world's most visited museum last year, with 16.7 million guests. It has 1.86 million artifacts, and its collection accounts for 42 percent of China's most precious cultural relics.According to Wang, the new project will be in the Archery Pavilion, a hall once used by emperors to practice their archery.In 2015, when Along the River During the Qingming Festival last went on display, many people stood in line overnight to see the painting. But the museum's rules require it to remain in controlled storage for at least three years.He said the new exhibition will wake up the nation's sleeping cultural heritage and make full use of academic pursuits and digitization technology.The Palace Museum has a huge collection of precious cultural relics that offer us many inspirations for creativity, he said.In recent years, the museum was recognized for its popular cultural products and a series of digital platforms, such as a mobile app and online games.Wang said the museum has created nearly 10,000 types of souvenirs, while more than 150 employees are working on developing more souvenirs and digital products.Higher quantity is not the goal, he said. What really matters is high quality.Nevertheless, he said that as a nonprofit public institution, the museum still lacks incentives for employees. For example, the management system does not allow us to use part of our sales revenue as bonuses, Wang said.He proposed at the CPPCC session to amend some rules supervising public institutions and give publicly owned museums greater flexibility in putting more impetus on developing cultural [email protected]
