Grassroots Structural Reform Urged
The structural reform of China's grassroots institutions should be stepped up, said Wang Zhongyu, State Councilor and Secretary-general of the State Council in Beijing at the conclusion of a two-day national conference on structural reforms at county and township levels.
He said the structural reform, a vital part of the country's overall reform package in 2001, will help nurture a contingent of high-calibre personnel, reduce administrative costs, alleviate burdens on farmers, and improve work efficiency at county and township administrations.
The structural reform is "an important strategic move" for China's socialist construction and it is closely related to the interests of the people, according to the official.
He stressed that departments concerned should pay greater attention to those who are laid off in the course of the structural reform, and ensure that those people be brought under the protection of China's social security system.
