政府誠信(zhèng fǔ chéng xìn): Governance credibility

The Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform recently approved guidelines aimed at enhancing social trust in the government.

Ensuring the probity of government officials and public employees is a systematic project. At the administrative and judicial levels, a series of measures targeting individuals and market participants are underway.

Trust in administrative departments at all levels is crucial to establishing the rule of law. Any dishonest behavior of local governments and civil servants not only violates the law, but also undermines people's trust in the government.

The key to ensuring credit in government affairs is to increase the cost of violating the law.

The authority should improve the punishment system to curb any dishonest behavior by government officials or public employees.

The guidelines issued by the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform show the central leadership's determination to promote clean governance and provides clear instruction on actual practice.

It will be conducive to increasing people's trust in the government.
