The 12th Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference -- the top political advisory body in Shanxi province -- started its third session on Jan 12 in the provincial capital Taiyuan, to discuss development plans for Shanxi, according to local officials.

More than 500 political advisers are attending the conference which runs to Jan 17, including Li Jia, chairman of the CPPCC Shanxi Committee. 

Li delivered CPPCC Shanxi Committee's work report on the first day, which reviewed the work and achievements in 2019 and set out the work plan for 2020.  

Some 1,200 proposals from individuals, political parties, and various organizations have been collected since the conclusion of the second session of the 12th CPPCC Shanxi Committee in January 2019.

Around 87 percent of the proposals -- which involved issues concerning the economy, environmental protection and culture -- have been put on record for further discussion and implementation, according to Xi Xiaojun, vice-chairman of the CPPCC Shanxi Committee.

The conference rewarded individuals and groups active in putting forward proposals and reporting public opinion.
