What changed

A two-day online interview series began visiting the Shanghai Municipal CPPCC on October 26, 2026, opening with site visits and interviews involving officials and CPPCC members.

The delegation visited a whole-process people’s democracy practice site and a hall documenting the Shanghai CPPCC’s development. Officials discussed proposal work, public-opinion information, and how these sites support civic education. CPPCC members Zhang Yuxia and Wang Yi also shared their experiences writing proposals.

Why it matters

This is less a policy announcement than a public tour of how Shanghai presents consultation in practice. The focus is on the machinery: where meetings happen, how proposals are handled, how public views are collected, and how those activities are explained to visitors.

The next stops will include CPPCC member workstations in Huangpu and Minhang districts, as well as a whole-process people’s democracy practice site at Guangming High School and a local history museum. That wider itinerary matters because it moves the story beyond the municipal headquarters and into neighbourhood, school and district settings.

The activity is being guided by People’s Political Consultative Daily, organised by People’s Political Consultative Network and supported by a China Internet Development Foundation fund. Reporters from People’s Daily, CCTV, China National Radio, China News Service and other central media are participating, giving the series a broad official-media platform.
