Gree Electric Chairperson Dong Mingzhu this year made proposals in three major areas, namely the innovation capability in the manufacturing industry, protection of intellectual property rights and patents, and threshold of individual income tax.

Having been deputy to the National People's Congress for four consecutive years, Dong said she paid more attention to the social and economic development beyond the enterprise's development and considers more on how to truly reflect the greatest concerns of the Chinese people.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus will neither reverse the economic globalization trend nor end the process of globalization but make people reconsider globalization, industrial chains and governance framework, said Yang Yuanqing, NPC deputy and Lenovo chairman and CEO.

The outbreak will promote further reconstruction of the global industrial chain and supply chain structure and this will bring Chinese enterprises new opportunities and challenges, Yang said.

At this year's two sessions, Yang made six proposals related to a new generation of internet medical and health platforms, promoting the consumption of information products, vigorously developing the "5G+ industrial internet", promoting new infrastructure and a smart economy, and promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.

Lei Jun, NPC deputy and Xiaomi founder and CEO, made four proposals this year relating to the satellite internet industry development, building of a disaster warning system, improving financing services for small and micro businesses, and introduction of high-level international talents.

Lei proposed incorporating the satellite internet as a key strategic emerging industry into China's 14th Five-Year development plan, and accelerating using smart terminals such as smartphones and TVs to build up public service systems such as disaster warnings.

To improve financing services for small and micro businesses, Lei proposed the strengthening of fintech and big data applications to reduce service costs and develop angel investment, venture capital, equity financing, supply chain finance and other financing methods, so as to form a sufficient and diversified fund supply system.

To attract more high-level international talent, Li proposed improving public services and living environments in areas including children's education, the cultural atmosphere, and the convenience of entry and exit for the country.

Li Shufu, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of automaker Geely Holding Group, made three proposals related to the vehicle purchase tax, vehicle consumption tax and urban motorcycle driving.

Li proposed changing the vehicle purchase tax from a central tax to a central-local shared tax, moving the vehicle consumption tax collection to the sales stage and sharing it among the central and local government.

He also proposed easing the ban on motorcycles to scientifically plan urban motorcycle driving in order to drive the transformation and upgrading of the motorcycle industry.

Wang Xiaochuan, CPPCC National Committee member and CEO of Sogou, proposed accelerating the setting of AI industry standards and guiding the healthy and orderly development of the industry.

Wang said AI technology should be developed and regulated at the same time. He said with the development of AI synthesis technology, some people use the technology to defraud and infringe user rights in portraits and right of reputation.

Therefore, it is pressing to research and formulate AI-related laws, regulations and ethics of conduct to regulate such misconduct, Wang said.

Zhang Jindong, chairman of Suning Holdings Group and deputy to the National People's Congress, made five proposals this year, which cover diversified areas including rural revitalization, data sharing, green logistics, and small and micro enterprise financing.

Zhang proposed establishing the C2M or customers-to-manufacturers business model and integrating advantages of both online and offline to promote sales.

He also proposed speeding up the digital economy infrastructure construction to promote the socialized sharing of public data, strengthening the coordination of the industrial chain to make financing easier for small and micro enterprises, and building smart communities.

Ding Lei, CPPCC National Committee member, founder and CEO of NetEase, proposed including children's programming into the academic test system as quality evaluation content during this year's two sessions.

He proposed innovating teaching methods to form a children's programming course system with Chinese characteristics and strengthening the training of teachers for children's programming.

Apart from digital education, Ding's proposals focusing on the high-quality development of digital China are also related to digital culture, digital music and the digital COVID-19 fight.

Wang Yu, president of Spring Airlines and member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, focused on how to deal with the normalization challenges of public health incidents and speed up economic recovery this year.

He proposed stimulating domestic consumption and further facilitating the granting of visas to travelers into China in order to stimulate inbound tourism and consumption after the novel coronavirus outbreak.
