CHINA'S top authority for handling complaints from the public formally started receiving petitions submitted via the Internet yesterday.
The State Bureau of Letters and Calls has created a special section on its website that allows Internet users to sign up and submit petitions.
People can lodge complaints when their rights are infringed as a result of an abuse of power on the part of authorities, enterprises, public institutions, civil groups or their employees, according to a guide posted on the bureau's website.
The move came after a June 18 speech delivered by President Xi Jinping signalled the start of a year-long campaign to further ties between the Party and the people.
It has drawn applause from analysts and Internet users, though some have expressed doubt about the new option's reliability and results.
China's petitioning system dates back to the early 1950s and has played a supporting role in public supervision over Party and government departments. Their complaints will be forwarded by the letters-and-calls agencies to concerned authorities, who will then push the targeted authority or staff members to correct their practices.
Forced demolitions of buildings, inappropriate land expropriations, poorly managed pollution problems and alleged judicial unfairness have been among the most widely reported causes of petitioning in recent years.
