Hainan CPPCC member to propose aquatic and agricultural improvements

Since becoming a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Shi Zongwei, head of Haikou Customs, has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his job and his duties.

During last year's two sessions, Shi submitted two proposals, including one on strengthening the ethical management of science and technology, which received responses from relevant ministries and commissions, as well as widespread media attention.

Before attending the 2020 two sessions in Beijing, Shi actively participated in online governance and remote consultation activities, as well as conducted extensive research and interviews to learn about the concerns of the public.

Shi has accumulated many materials for better proposals, including ways to improve the competitiveness of the aquaculture processing industry, as well as accelerate the formation of an integrated industry-university-research and market-oriented system in the construction of the Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base.

"The proposal should be centered on the people, reflect the voices of the masses, and serve social development," said Shi. He added that he hopes to use his expertise in customs work to put forward high-quality proposals and continue to optimize them until he hears back from relevant authorities and sees real results.  

Based on the preliminary survey, Shi will focus on proposals to enhance the competitiveness of Hainan's characteristic aquatic product of tilapia, strengthen agricultural technological innovation, promote the construction of Nanfan "Silicon Valley," strengthen the construction of industry associations, and enhance the international competitiveness of China's dominant industries.

"These are important components that help Hainan build a free trade port and promote the steady development of Hainan's foreign trade," Shi said.

Strengthening the construction of industry associations will play an important role in enhancing the capacity of industrial governance and the international competitiveness of China's advantageous industries, he added. This will play a positive role in promoting the construction of Hainan's "three zones and one center" strategy and form the highest level of opening up.
