Wen: Steer away from corruption

PREMIER Wen Jiabao has urged government officials at all levels to strictly follow the laws and regulations in a bid to steer away from corruption and ensure the good of the public.

"In a peaceful time, corruption is the greatest danger for a ruling party, and the basic reason for corruption is that powers are not properly supervised and restricted," Wen said yesterday during a national meeting on lawful administration.

He called it a "major test" for the government to handle graft issues properly.

Wen said the task of building a lawful government is the basic guarantee to promote social fairness and justice, a key measure for anti-corruption and also an essential part for the reform of the country's political system.

"Currently our country's economic and social development has entered a new phase. More challenges have emerged as domestic and overseas environments become more complicated. We should deepen reform while promoting administration in accordance with the laws in order to solve new problems," he said.

According to Wen, a sound market environment with fair competition can only be created when the government uses laws and regulations to manage various market entities, provide services for them and ensure their rights.

Wen also called for scientific and democratic decision-making, and for transparent and open government so long as it doesn't involve state secrets, commercial secrets or individual privacy.
