BEIJING -- Senior members of non-communist parties and prominent individuals without party affiliation put forward proposals on fostering a new development paradigm in China at a meeting attended by Wang Yang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, on Wednesday.
