SPIRITUAL civilisation will top the agenda of the CPPCC, with two senior national advisers scheduled to speak on the issue.
The CPPCC considers that action is necessary to counter social evils which have resulted from the country's economic development.
To stress the importance of the matter, Chairman Li Ruihuan has ordered no time-restraint on speeches to be delivered by vice-chairmen Qian Weichang and Qian Zhengying, the China News Service said yesterday.
That deviates from the normal practice, which allows each member to address the conference for only 15 minutes.
The top advisory body to the Government will also hold a press conference to call for special status for the construction of socialist spiritual civilisation, the news agency said.
Officials have been criticised for just paying lip-service to the building of ideological education in the country.
