In their proposals, some CPPCC members suggested institutions of higher education in Shanghai to expand the scale of biomedicine-related majors, introduce more outstanding talent from overseas, and further facilitate customs clearance so as to support the innovation and development of the sector of biomedicine, one of the three leading industries for Shanghai.
Some CPPCC members also proposed to provide more convenience for expats living in Shanghai, removing obstacles regarding their application for documents and making payments among others.
