Real Democracy

 
Highlighting Shanghai's inclusivity as a global metropolis, this episode examines how expatriates are actively participating in local governance and legislative processes. Through innovative civic channels like the 12345 hotline and grassroots legislative contact points, foreign residents are making their voices heard. For example, suggestions from Nepali physician Dr. Maskay regarding permanent residency services and blood donation policies have received positive, transparent feedback from the government. Furthermore, international experts have directly contributed to the design of major public projects like the Shanghai Industrial Museum. By welcoming cross-cultural perspectives, the city is refining its public services and fostering a truly collaborative community.
