Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said in Beijing Sunday that without
successful political restructuring, there would be no successful
economic reform. He mentioned that he set three objectives on
government institutional reform since the first day of his
premiership.
Wen cited the first goal as the establishment of a scientific
and democratic decision-making mechanism, including a group
decision-making system and consultations with experts and
professional people.
The second goal is to administrate the country according to
laws, he said. "We must prompt the government to administrate the
country in line with law, build the clean and honest government,
and pursue the combination of the government's power and
responsibility."
The third goal is to accept supervision from every corner of the
society, including the supervision from the National People's
Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference, and governments must hear and
solicit opinions and views from people and general public, the
premier said.
