What is the immediate impact of Shanghai's expansion of citizen engagement platforms on its governance?

Shanghai has established over 5,700 contact stations and 36 legislative outreach offices to enhance citizen participation in governance. This initiative, launched in 2014 and expanded in 2019, allows residents to directly engage with legislators on economic, livelihood, and social development issues. These efforts are part of a broader initiative to promote whole-process people's democracy.
