"This afternoon (April 22) Wu Hao (伍皓), the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Yunnan Province had a talk in People’s University. Before Wu started his talk, a 25-year-old netizen approached him and greeted him with a pile of 50-cent notes.
According to online news website cdqss, the university graduate exchange 30 yuan notes into 50-cent notes in the bank in early morning and attended Wu’s talk. He said that the notes are “tribute” to Wu Hao.

"That the party should worry at all may seem odd. Communist Party members account for fewer than 6% of China’s people, but more than 70% of the 2,987 delegates appointed in 2008 for a five-year term to the NPC. In lower-level congresses, estimates one party researcher, the ratio is normally 60-70%, with more than half of the seats usually taken by “leading officials”. Nearly 9% of national legislators are members of the armed forces. A similar share are senior party and government officials and senior academics. Almost all delegates at every level, though nominally elected (either by lower-level congresses or by the public in the case of the lowest tiers), are in fact selected by the party. Voting is almost always a formality. "
