As China marks the 70th anniversary of its National People’s Congress (NPC) system this year, Colombian vlogger Fernando Muñoz Bernal – a 24-year resident of the Chinese mainland – offers a unique perspective on how the country’s governance model prioritizes collective progress. 🌏📜
‘The NPC isn’t just about politics – it’s about action,’ says Fernando, who’s attended multiple local legislative sessions. He highlights how deputies from all 56 ethnic groups debate policies ranging from rural healthcare upgrades to AI development roadmaps. 💡👥
What makes the system tick? Fernando points to three pillars:
✅ Grassroots participation through neighborhood committees
✅ Multi-round public consultations on draft laws
✅ Performance evaluations for NPC deputies
‘It’s like a nationwide suggestion box meets a progress report card,’ he quips, noting recent youth-driven proposals like eco-friendly delivery packaging mandates. 📦🌱
From witnessing poverty alleviation programs in Yunnan to attending digital economy forums in Hangzhou, Fernando emphasizes: ‘This system doesn’t just allow participation – it requires it to function.’ His viral TikTok series #NPCUnfiltered has racked up 2.8M views from curious global Gen-Zers. 📱✨
