Anti-graft chief seeks expert advice (2)

Zhou Shuzhen, a professor at the School of International Studies at the Renmin University of China, also called for a system to publish details of officials' assets as soon as possible.

It may be difficult to realize it in one step, but the authorities can start by inspecting and publishing the assets of officials before they are promoted, she told the Beijing News.

Other experts who attended the meeting suggest that officials' housing property details be published first, as it is currently difficult to find information on all the revenues and possessions of officials.

Currently, government officials are required to report their incomes and properties to authorities, but the information is not open to the public.

Analysts said the ruling Party has been working on its anti-corruption drive harder than ever before.

The agenda-setting 18th CPC National Congress report on November 8 vowed to give the people more power to supervise the government. Xi Jinping, the new Party leader, also admitted there were critical challenges of corruption in the Party and vowed to reestablish its image.
