On CPPCC 2012, Changjian Li, Deputy Secretary General of CPPCC, pointed out CPPCC was consisted of 34 sectors 20 years ago. Therefore, is there any possibility to change the current situation?

Several delegates of CPPCC have submitted their proposals to launch new sectors, such as Migrant Workers sector, law sectors and etc. According to the recent news reports, CPPCC is widely accumulating suggestions and will adjust the setting of sectors on the base of extensive collection of delegates' opinions. As overseas returnees, we should contribute more to getting involved in CPPCC and giving our suggestions to the policy-making of our country.
