An Expat’s Look into People’s Congress — Practicing China’s Democracy

Guangdong Provincial People's Congress Updated: 2024-10-01

The people's congress system is the fundamental political system in China, serving as an important institutional vehicle for realizing whole-process people's democracy in the country. Deputies to various levels of the people's congresses play their part in legislation and serve the people.  

How do grassroots-level deputies fulfill their duties? And how do they help increase incomes of local residents? In this video, Jerry Grey, a British media commentator, visited Dongnan village in Lianshan's Shangshuai town to witness how Huang Jiaying, a county-level deputy, expands Chinese hanging gourd farming, and how he makes his own efforts to boost ethnic minority culture.
