On September 25, a Douyin blogger posted a video suggesting that the Two Sessions open an online suggestion channel, collect the 20 topics the public cares about most, openly discuss and vote on them to make law, and let the people be the masters of the country. The video received about 27,000 likes, while the page showed only 4 comments.
On March 3, on the eve of the annual Two Sessions meetings nationwide, a netizen in Beijing captured footage that appeared to show petitioners being abducted. Two of the people threatened him not to film or linger, and repeatedly tried to block the lens. The netizen retorted: Is this how you treat petitioners?
