   Xinhong is strategically located at the intersection of the Hongqiao International Open Hub and the Yangtze River Delta Integration Strategy.

Capitalizing on the development of the Hongqiao International Central Legal Affairs Zone, continuously refine the operational mechanisms of the legislative liaison point to promote optimal progress in legislative liaison initiatives.

The meeting also conveyed the spirit of municipal and district-level guidelines on grassroots legislative liaison work, as well as the background and implementation plan for Xinhong’s role as one of Minhang District’s designated legislative liaison points.

Establishing a Grassroots Legislative Liaison Point System and Advancing Refined Legislation
The establishment of a grassroots legislative liaison point system and the promotion of refined legislation represent new requirements set by the Party to strengthen grassroots legislative work, enhance legislative quality, and improve efficiency. This initiative aims to provide convenient, permanent channels for grassroots communities to participate in the formulation of laws and regulations, ensuring that their opinions and suggestions are directly incorporated into legislative decision-making processes. It serves as a critical measure to broaden public participation, aggregate public wisdom, and advance scientific and democratic legislation.

Grassroots legislative liaison points, situated at the community level, function as a "direct express lane" connecting legislative bodies with grassroots populations and organizations. By bridging legislative decision-making and social practice, they offer a practical and effective pathway for the public to orderly engage in national legislation.

The Xinhong Subdistrict People's Congress Working Committee has continuously explored innovative methods to leverage the "legislative express lane" function. By incorporating law firms and lawyers into a professional talent pool, the committee not only demonstrates recognition of the legal profession's role but also assigns new responsibilities to legal practitioners.

Sunway Law Firm (Sungai Law Firm), led by Managing Partner Hong Xiaoli, has been designated as a member of the expert advisory group. Hong Xiaoli expressed deep gratitude for the long-standing support and trust from the Xinhong People's Congress, emphasizing that this designation carries significant responsibility. It reflects confidence in Sunway Law Firm's work and serves as a call to action.

Sunway Law Firm will transform pressure into motivation, fully fulfill its duties, and harness the professional expertise of legal practitioners to contribute legal wisdom and strength. The firm aims to mobilize more lawyers and related enterprises to participate in legislative processes. Committed to honoring trust and fulfilling its mission, Sunway Law Firm will maximize the bridging role of grassroots legislative liaison points through:

1. Active fulfillment of responsibilities,
2. Enhanced learning,
3. In-depth research,
4. Focus on key areas,
5. Fostering innovation.

The firm strives to elevate the will of enterprises and residents in the Xinhong area into legal frameworks, contributing to legislative work in the Xinhong region and the rule of law in Hongqiao. It will unremittingly offer policy recommendations, continuously drive legal system development in Xinhong, and fulfill the legal profession's due responsibilities in local legislative endeavors.
