New CPC leadership's first 100 ruling days inspiring(4)

From paying visits to AIDS patients, farmers, street cleaners and taxi drivers to soliciting views from non-communist parties, the new leaders' appreciation of first-hand materials and down-to-earth work styles have impressed the public.

"The general secretary reached out to me first to shake hands and asked me if the drugs I took have side effects. He also encouraged me to stick it out," said a person surnamed Yang who is living with HIV/AIDS.

CHANGES

Apart from concrete measures, there have also been obvious changes in the past 100 days.

The central authority announced eight bureaucracy-busting measures on Dec. 4.

Political Bureau members were asked to conduct themselves in an exemplary way in improving the Party's work style, because they should "implement the dos before asking others to do so, and certainly not do something themselves if they don't want others to do it."

There were no traffic controls or red-carpet arrangements during Xi's visit to Guangdong, for example.

Moreover, other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee including Li Keqiang, Liu Yunshan and Wang Qishan asked officials to be brief and not to read their prepared reports at meetings to save time for more concrete content.

Xi also led a campaign against pomp. Curbing "waste at the tip of the tongue" has become a catchphrase in China amid an intensified fight against food waste. And the "empty plate" drive is gradually evolving into a trend among both officials and the general public.
