Senior official urges more proposals to improve China's environmental protection

BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Chinese media) -- A senior Chinese

official has urged the country's political advisors to make more practical

proposals to the government to resolve environmental pollution and other social

problems.

Jia Qinglin, Chairman of the National Committee of

the Chinese People's Political Consultation Conference (CPPCC), made the remark

in a letter to the CPPCC's first seminar on China's population, resources and

environment development concluded in Beijing on Tuesday.

China would have many challenges in achieving steady

economic growth and social development next year, which included environmental

protection, employment and resources issues, Jia said in the letter.

Political advisors should work together and make

proposals and suggestions that could serve the people and country effectively,

he said.

The seminar was attended by members of the CPPCC,

China's top political advisory body, and experts from companies and research

institutes.
