地方人民代表大会越来越活跃，开展立法活动，（据说）监督国家组织。通过对扬州市人大代表议案的分析，我们发现，人大代表越来越多地代表了他们所在地区的利益和要求，地方人大已经成为一个表达和协调各种竞争利益的场所，这往往与代表国家最高权力的地方党委的利益相矛盾。也就是说，地方人大成了两种利益交汇的地方：地方党委代表的“中央”利益和地方人大代表代表的“地方”利益。
Local people’s congresses have become increasingly active, carrying out legislative activities and (supposedly) supervising state organizations. Based on the analysis of bills submitted to Yangzhou Municipal People’s Congresses, we find that congress delegates have increasingly represented the interests and demands of the geographic areas from which they are elected, and that the local people’s congress has become a place to present and coordinate various competing interests, which are often contradictory to the interests of the local Party committee that represents the higher authority of the state. In other words, the local people’s congress has become a place where two interests intersect: the “central” interests represented by the local Party committee and the “local” interests represented by the local people’s congress delegates.
