Li Fangping, a Beijing-based lawyer who wrote to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Public Security along with nine other lawyers calling for reforms to the system, said that the release of Ren was more aimed at remedying the practices of former Chongqing Party chief Bo Xilai, but doesn't have universal significance throughout the country.
Wang Cheng echoed the idea, adding that out of concern for social stability, local governments are likely to resist abolishing the system.
Though there is a basic common understanding on the need to reform the system, Li noted that the government hasn't made up its mind on direction of the reform, and pilot reform schemes have lacked transparency.
