75 CKGSB Alumni Attend 2011 NPC, CPPCC Sessions

CKGSB alumni are best known for their leading roles in the world of business, running many of China’s most successful private, state-owned, and multinational companies across a variety of sectors. Lately, 75 CKGSB alumni have played different roles: as deputies to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in Beijing.

These two annual sessions, known in Chinese as the liang hui, are considered the major event of the Chinese political year. The NPC, as China’s legislature, passes laws and regulations that shape the country’s economic policy, while the CPPCC is an advisory body that deliberates on and suggests policy solutions for the major social problems facing China. The 5,000 plus deputies and members to the conferences, therefore, play a crucial role in examining and shaping the political, economic, and social policies of China.
