on the 10th, the 11th session of the 14th national people's congress standing committee began. according to the agenda, the meeting will review the draft amendment to the statistics law again.

the 9th meeting of the standing committee of the 14th national people's congress held in late april this year conducted an initial review of the draft amendment to the statistics law. later, based on the opinions of various parties, the draft amendment was revised in five major aspects. these include: reflecting the new development concept, stipulating that a scientific and reasonable statistical standard and statistical indicator system should be improved according to the new situation of economic and social development; refining the statistical supervision provisions, and incorporating the performance of statutory statistical duties into the content of statistical supervision.

less than five months later, the draft amendment to the statistics law was submitted for review again, indicating that the amendment process of the statistics law is being advanced in full swing and fully demonstrates the importance of statistical work.

the reason why we need to improve scientific and reasonable statistical standards and statistical indicator systems is that the long-standing statistical indicator systems, methods, systems, and survey methods have become difficult to objectively, comprehensively, and timely reflect the profound changes in economic and social life, and will also affect the basis for making various decisions.

the emphasis on strengthening the construction of a supervision system is that in recent years, statistical fraud and falsification have continued despite repeated prohibitions, seriously damaging the authenticity and accuracy of statistical data, and the public has strongly reacted to this. this is one of the outstanding issues in statistical work that needs to be urgently addressed.

the draft amendment to the statistics law proposes to embody the new development concept and stipulate that according to the new situation of economic and social development, a scientific and reasonable statistical standard and statistical indicator system should be established. it is proposed to strengthen the construction of statistical informatization, stipulate that the state promotes the deep integration of modern information technology and statistical work, require statistical survey subjects to promote the electronicization and digitization of statistical ledgers, vigorously promote the transformation and application of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence in statistical work, and improve the quality of statistical data. strengthen the sharing of statistical information, stipulate that the statistical agencies and relevant departments of the people's governments at or above the county level should establish and improve the statistical information sharing mechanism, clarify the sharing scope, standards and procedures of statistical information, improve the efficiency of government statistics, eliminate repeated statistical surveys, and reduce the burden of multiple reporting by statistical survey subjects, etc., to enhance its operability. all these reflect that statistical work keeps pace with the times.
