Forty proposals submitted by members of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have been revoked amid suspicions of plagiarism, Guo Ailing, vice-chairman of the Shandong CPPCC, said on Monday in a Work Report.

"The quality of proposals is the top concern," Guo said as she presented the report at the third session of the 11th Shandong CPPCC, scheduled to end on Saturday.

From the second session of the 11th Shandong CPPCC held in January of last year to Monday, Shandong CPPCC members have submitted 1,026 proposals, of which 817 have been put on record after review. This figure accounts for 80 percent of the total number of proposals, and is 4 percent lower than the previous year.

Proposals that are similar are merged, with the proposers' agreement, and 148 proposals that were not put on record have been passed on to related organizations as public opinion, said Guo.

"It's absolutely right to revoke unqualified proposals. CPPCC members shall enhance their professional skills and enrich their knowledge in the fields they major in," said Zeng Zhenyu, a Shandong CPPCC member and a professor at the Advanced Institute for Confucian Studies at Shandong University.

This year, the Shandong CPPCC will set out standards for putting a proposal on record in an attempt to improve their quality, Guo said.

Starting this month, provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across China open their annual "two sessions", a Chinese term used to mean the annual conferences of the people's congresses - the legislative bodies - and of the CPPCC, the political advisory body.

CPPCC members from the non-communist political parties, federations of industry and commerce submit proposals on a wide range of fields including education, social security and public health to the standing committee of the CPPCC.

If put on record, the proposals will be passed on to related organizations and, in most cases, questions that are put forward in the proposals will be settled.
