THERE has not been any negative response or tip-off about the 14 candidates applying for official posts in a county in Zhejiang Province who have been required to declare their personal assets.
The details of their personal assets have been publicized for a week by yesterday and the Pan'an County's organization committee said it has not received any adverse report or tip-off from the public about their declaration.
The public and the media have applauded the committee's endeavor on mandating personal asset declaration. Some lauded it as a most thorough initiative.
The candidates' data on the county government's website include their educational and work background, annual salary, the number of homes and cars owned, share holdings and other sources of family income.
Hu Yuxian, who is running for township head, reported an annual salary of 62,123 yuan (US$9,847) as secretary of the Pan'an county committee of the Communist Youth League of China. She also disclosed she owns two homes - one measuring 143.95 square meters bought by her family while another of 304.17 square meters was a gift.
"It (declaration) is a strong constrain to ensure civil servants are self-disciplined," Hu, a 30-year-old college graduate.
Those who are found to have concealed their personal assets will be dismissed from the official nomination procedure under discipline regulations set by the committee.
The organization committee of Jinhua City, which administers Pan'an, is working to introduce Pan'an's practice into the official appointment system in the city to check corruption and build a "transparent" government.
Officials bearing luxurious personal assets have become a new form of corruption in China.
Yang Dacai, a senior official in Shaanxi Province, was sacked after being exposed online wearing 11 pricey watches on various occasions.
