CHONGQING'S municipal government vowed yesterday that it would shake off the impact of the Bo Xilai scandal and make law-abiding governance a top priority.
Huang Qifan, mayor of Chongqing, described 2012 as an "extraordinary year" for Chongqing's development in his report on the work of the municipal government, at the opening of the 4th Chongqing Municipal People's Congress.
The mayor said the government has endeavored to maintain steady economical and social development despite the severe toll of the incidents involving Bo Xilai, with the city recording an annual economic growth of 13.6 percent.
"It turned out that Chongqing citizens have weathered storms and withstood ordeals," he said.
The government published the full text of its work report, in which it placed governing in accordance with the Constitution and the law as a main focus for this year.
Bo's wife, Bo-Gu Kailai was convicted of the murder of a British businessman in November 2011, while Bo was secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Chongqing Municipal Committee.
Former police chief Wang Lijun was convicted of charges including abuse of power.
Bo was later deprived of CPC membership and expelled from public service for severe disciplinary violations.
