China Focus: Leaders' practices inspire reform (2)

Some netizens have started to keep an eye out for acts that might violate the new requirements. On Wednesday, traffic police in east China's Jiangxi province clarified that an expressway had been blocked because of an emergency drill after a netizen complained that the expressway may have been blocked because of an official visit.

Government departments have started to release details for the implementation of similar measures following the Political Bureau's meeting.

The Supreme People's Court on Wednesday announced plans to improve its own working methods by forbidding meetings at luxurious hotels, controlling the number of meetings and receiving inspectors in a more simple fashion.

In Shanghai, officials at multiple levels are required to take shuttle buses when they attend activities together instead of using private cars. In central China's Hunan province, the CPC provincial committee and government have forbidden expensive dinners or gift exchanges for business purposes.

Shangguan Jiurui, an instructor at the Party School of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, said some CPC officials have used formal and bureaucratic customs that have isolated them from the people.
