However, new tasks for the new era impose new and higher requirements upon the work of people’s congresses. Local people’s congresses and their standing committees need to fulfill their duties in line with the Party Central Committee’s requirements for the work of people’s congresses and the decisions and plans made by local Party committees for implementing the Central Committee’s policies and strategies. These include taking an innovative approach to their work in legislation and supervision, in accordance with their respective local conditions, so as to facilitate economic and social development and the completion of reform tasks. They should conscientiously follow the leadership of local Party committees at their respective levels. They need to maintain close ties with the people and give better play to the role of deputies to the people’s congresses, who should be familiar with the true situation of local people, solicit their opinions,garner their ideas, safeguard their rights and interests through the rule of law, and improve their well being. The deputies also need to achieve self-improvement,in order to increase their ability to fulfill their duties in accordance with the law, and improve the efficiency of their work.
