"Even conferences were held via video link, and the quality of the meetings was fully guaranteed with the inclusion of solid content and strict procedures," she said.

Fang added that before an online meeting was held, she usually received a text message from the NPC Standing Committee, which included the conference time and the online room number.

"I was also told to fully prepare material and summarize the main points of my proposals to ensure I expressed myself accurately and efficiently during the online session. In short, every participant must take going online seriously," she said.

Fang added that she expects the top legislature to continue using online methods and offline surveys to help new deputies better perform their duties and play a bigger role in serving the people and submitting high-quality motions and proposals.
