 In preparation for next week's meetings, the first group of 26 Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference members arrived in Beijing on Thursday by train. More members from other provinces and regions are expected in the coming few days.
About 2,238 National Committee members will attend the first session of the 10th CPPCC National Committee. There will be more members from the business sector than ever before attending the meeting of the CPPCC next week.
 After making major contributions to the nation's wealth, Chinese private business-people are now learning to share political responsibilities with other Chinese citizens. About 100 or so private entrepreneurs are now members of the 10th CPPCC National Committee, compared with a mere 23 in the Eighth CPPCC National Committee and just one in the Seventh CPPCC National Committee.
The growing presence of business-people on the political stage is a result of President Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" Theory, which calls for the Communist Party of China, to better represent China's most advanced productive force, its advanced culture and the most fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.
