CPC Central Committee adopts state leadership candidates(2)

DECENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION

During Thursday's plenary session, the CPC Central Committee adopted a plan on institutional restructuring and the functional transformation of the State Council and suggested that the State Council submit it at the national legislature's session, according to the communique.

The meeting's participants vowed to push forward the reform of China's administrative system and further separate government administration from enterprises, investment, social undertakings and communal management, the communique said.

They stressed the importance of building a public service-oriented government featuring scientific function, an optimized structure, cleanness and high efficiency.

The government restructuring plan aims at simpler and decentralized administration, as well as improved administrative efficiency. To achieve that end, The CPC Central Committee has agreed that the government will steadily press ahead with "super-ministry" reform, reduce bureaucracy in administrative examinations and approval and transfer some of such responsibilities to lower levels.

The CPC Central Committee pledged to reform the social organization management system, improve and enhance macro-management, build basic systems and strengthen administration by law.

According to the communique, market and social forces will be given a greater role in allocating resources and managing social affairs, respectively.

Efforts will be made to motivate both the central and local government and enhance the government's scientific management capacity, it said.

The CPC Central Committee also emphasized the need to improve civil servants' work style, work efficiency and the quality of their service.

The CPC central committee also warned of severe challenges facing China amid a complex international situation and difficult domestic tasks concerning reform, development and maintaining stability.

All CPC members should be aware of the risks and prepare for the unexpected, the communique said, urging them to be more enterprising and innovative in their work.

The CPC central committee stressed the need to maintain economic development momentum.

People should take the pursuit of scientific development as an underlying guideline and prioritize the acceleration of growth model adjustments, the communique said.
