( 2003-09-03 09:31) (Xinhua)
Chinese Vice-Premier Hui
Liangyu urged to further promote transparent and democratic village
administration in a national television and telephone conference Tuesday.
Hui, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) Central Committee, said promoting the work inthis field is intended to
safeguard the fundamental interests of farmers and to implement the important
thought of "Three Represents".
He called on further enhancing transparent and democratic village
administration through building a sound mechanism, giving full play to the
leadership role of grass-root Party organizationsand involving more villagers in
the process.
The important thought of "Three Represents", a long-term guiding ideology of
the CPC, calls for the Party to always represent the development trend of
China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture,
and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese
people.
The general offices of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued
a circular in 1998 urging spreading transparent anddemocratic village
administration to all areas of the country.
Government sources said that by June of 2003, 95 percent of China's 680,000
villages had reached the standards of transparent and democratic village
administration. Among them, more than 60 percent had adopted relatively standard
mechanisms.
