Senior Official Stresses Qualification of Government Functionaries 　　Chinese State Councilor and Secretary-general of the State Council Wang Zhongyu on September 2 urged government employees to be more motivated to become better qualified. 　　Wang, who is also the president of the State Administrative College, made the call at the college's fall semester opening ceremony. He noted that all government functionaries must be politically qualified and that they should bear in mind their basic duty of serving the people. 　　At the same time, government officials should follow the law as they carry out their work, as China is strengthening its rule of law, Wang said. 　　In addition, the officials in various departments must be specialists in their own fields and learn better management skills, he added.
