(Ecns.cn)--Starting from early October, committees under the Communist Party of China (CPC) in counties, towns, cities and provinces began an overall reshuffle, which has since concluded in 14 provinces with Qin Guangrong elected secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the CPC on Tuesday.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and the new committees soon grabbed the public's attention to their style of work.
The People's Daily also devoted significant space to Zhong Zuwen, a name given to commentaries written in the name of the Organizational Department of the CPC Central Committee in a bid to guide the fresh membership forward after the take-over.
The new committee members should be "foregoers of scientific development," who are "well prepared to take up the 'batons'" and "work whole-heartedly for the well-being of the people," pointed out Zhong Zuwen, adding that they should "be white-handed" and "play an exemplary role in cracking down on inappropriate behavior."
According to analysts, the commentaries show that the Central Committee has attached great importance to the newly-elected committees of all levels and laid down more stringent requirements to combat problems caused by "slackness, incompetency, corruption and cutting off from the masses."
The new committees should adopt an enterprising spirit and carry out each task actively and effectively; all committee members should continue acquiring knowledge of various fields and enriching their experience; cadres are servants of the people, thus they should respect those on whom their livelihood depends; and all Party members should wield power lawfully and cautiously while overcoming temptations, said Zhong Zuwen.
With reforms entering a crucial stage, China is experiencing a transitional society where complicated conflicts have become sharper and public interest demands more diversification. Therefore, Party leaders should act decisively and adopt strict rules at work, Zhong Zuwen added.
Su Rong, secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the CPC, noted in response to the commentaries that "there should be fewer meetings and more investigations, and the government should attach importance to projects in order to benefit its people and create a harmonies society."
Zhang Qingli, secretary of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the CPC, also required the cadres to be honest and brave.
By striking while the iron is hot, the Organizational Department of the CPC Central Committee has already organized several training sessions for the new heads of organizational departments at all levels since October to strengthen organizational building within the Party.
Li Yuanchao, head of the Central Organizational Department, pointed out that cadres are the key to stimulating scientific development and promoting a harmonious society. Leaders of organizational departments should be in high Party spirit and brave enough to redress inequality and curb unhealthy tendencies.
They should also give out posts on the grounds of personal ability, by giving priority to moral characters who combine ability with political integrity, Li added.
Meanwhile, top positions at key finance administrations and institutions in the mainland are also witnessing constant reshuffles.
China Construction Bank (CCB)， the country's second largest bank by assets, announced in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange late Tuesday that its board had nominated Wang Hongzhang, former chief disciplinary officer of the central bank, as executive director.
The nomination will be submitted to the first Extraordinary General Meeting of 2012 for consideration, reported The Wall Street Journal, citing a Chinese media report that Wang is a likely candidate to take over as chairman of CCB.
The Agricultural Bank of China (ABC) also declared the same day that Jiang Chaoliang, former president of China Development Bank, has been nominated as a candidate for the bank's executive director position.
Wang and Jiang reportedly had taken up their posts on Monday as secretary of the Party committee at CCB and ABC respectively.
The nominations follow the central government's appointment of CCB's former chairman Guo Shuqing as head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and former ABC Chairman Xiang Junbo as chairman of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission in October.
"New leaders in central finance administrations, especially the CSRC, will speed up reform of the securities market. The CSRC has already taken some steps, and investors expect more, such as the launch of the international board," He Zhengsheng, legal expert and founding partner of Beijing Honor Base Law Firm, told the Global Times.
