A survey has found that the Internet has become the second most popular media source for local residents to get information about the annual sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
The poll, conducted by the media and public opinion research center at Fudan University, wanted to learn how the public observed and evaluated this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, which ended during the weekend.
"With a growing number of Internet users, the Internet has overtaken newspapers as the second most popular media tool to get information about the two sessions for the first time since we launched the survey in 2004," said Li Shuanglong, executive director of the research center.
"More people have been aware of the two sessions as the topics discussed are those of most concern in daily life. The sessions prompted thoughtful suggestions from the public in building up two-way communication in society," Li stressed.
Among the numerous topics, livelihood issues were the topics of most concern, followed by the Expo, economic development and combating corruption.
As for livelihood issues, people paid most attention to housing prices, health care, social security and revenue distribution.
Among those surveyed, 86 percent believe the proposals from NPC deputies and CPPCC members reflected public opinion.
Most of the people surveyed chose the Internet as the most convenient tool to get the information that is essential to their daily lives.
When asked about their evaluation of the two sessions, 93 percent of those surveyed were satisfied, and 57 percent were "very satisfied".
