As China is deeply involved in pioneering its overall reform endeavor, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top advisory body, called for better mechanisms to improve the CPPCC's role in policy consultation and supervision.

About 2,200 members of the CPPCC National Committee from different sectors across the country have gathered in Beijing for their annual session.

While the CPPCC is a united front organization consisting of members from both Communist and non-Communist parties, ethnic groups and various social groups, most of its members are significant political figures, specialists, celebrities and scholars.
