Ye said he believed income redistribution will be heatedly discussed at the annual meetings. "I hope more detailed and feasible measures can be constituted by relevant government departments," he added.
CPPCC member Jia Kang, director of the Institute for Fiscal Science Research under the Ministry of Finance, told Xinhua on Saturday that the government must "face public concerns squarely" to have the guideline smoothly implemented.
In his proposal to the CPPCC National Committee, Jia advocated the government spread the use of collective pay bargaining in companies, expand consumption taxes to luxury entertainment and luxury goods, tighten monitoring of officials' non-salary and property income and introduce tougher punishment over power-for-money deals, bribery and corruption.
"To change China's pyramid-shaped income structure to an olive-shaped one, the government must seize time to listen to the opinions of NPC deputies and CPPCC members and make timely responses to public calls," urged Jia.
