BEIJING -- Members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) discussed measures to better publicize human rights development stories in the country at a bi-weekly seminar held recently.

The seminar, organized by the CPPCC National Committee, was presided over by Wang Yang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the CPPCC National Committee. 

Wang emphasized the need to fully recognize the historic achievements in China's human rights cause and have a correct understanding of both progress and weaknesses in explaining the country's endeavor in this regard.

He also called for more efforts to share the stories of China's human rights with people around the world so as to enhance the international community's recognition of the progress of human rights in China.

Twelve CPPCC members put forward their suggestions at the seminar, while nearly 30 others voiced their opinions via an online platform. 

They suggested sticking to the human rights development path with Chinese characteristics, following the people-centered philosophy and telling China's stories in a clear and intelligible way. 

Some CPPCC members underlined the use of the internet, big data and other technologies in topic selection, content production, translation and promotion. 

They also stressed the importance of enhancing exchanges with international organizations, foreign political parties, governments, think tanks and non-governmental organizations, among others.
