BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of Chinese have joined a heated discussion about new rules that are designed to curb corruption and increase transparency about the assets of government officials.A regulation that took effect Sunday extends the list declarable assets for officials and introduces dismissal as the maximum penalty for failing to report assets honestly and promptly.The regulation adds six more items to the list of declarable assets issued in 2006, bringing the total to 14. The new items include incomes from sources like lecturing, painting and calligraphy; homes owned by spouses and children; and equities and investments owned by officials, their spouses and children.A FIRM STEPThe new rules have struck a public chord and almost 50,000 people had left comments on China's two biggest Internet portal websites on Monday. Thousands more were joining the discussion on other news sites and discussion forums.More than 36,500 people had made online comments on a news entry about the regulation on leading portal Sohu.com as of 1:30 p.m., and more than 11,000 comments on an entry at Sina.com.cn.Most of the published postings welcomed the new rules, but some said they should go further."The fight against corruption has a long way to go, but I am really glad to see each firm step taken by the central authorities," said a posting from Shanghai on Sina."We want to see more detailed provisions and harsher punishments in the rule," said a post by "Shihuiwen 197" on Sohu.The regulation was issued by the General Office of China's State Council and the General Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.It requires officials at deputy county chief level and above to annually report their assets, marital status and whereabouts and employment of family members.It also empowers local provincial level CPC committees and governments to expand the regulations to officials below deputy county chief level.A CPC statement said Monday that most village or town chief level officials are prone to power-for-money transactions and corrupt actions as they are dealing with practical issues involving personnel, finance and materials.But as there are a large number of them, requiring all of them to report personal information will require much work and high costs, said the statement jointly issued by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the CPC Central Committee's Organization Department.So the central authority left the decision to local governments to decide based upon their own conditions, it said.New requirements for officials to report homes and investments reflected the need to change disciplinary structures in line with changing social and economic values, said Professor Liu Chun, deputy dean of the Graduate Institute of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

¡¡¡¡BEIJING, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Police authorities in Beijing launched a microblog, blogs and a podcast on Sunday in the latest move in its public relations campaign.This came about half a month after police in the Chinese capital set up a public relations office to enhance transparency and interaction with residents.The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau officially launched its new media services at the news portals sina.com, sohu.com and 163.com and video-sharing site ku6.com after a three-day trial.The services, branded as "Safe Beijing", offer a new communication channel between police and the general public. Microblogs, for example, have become a quick and popular source of news and information for increasingly more Chinese citizens.Fu Zhenghua, head of the bureau, said last month that law enforcement activities could easily be hot topics in the media and among the public in this highly open and transparent Internet era."With the aid of modern technology, we hope to communicate with residents and vulnerable groups with frankness and sincerity, as well as promote social justice," said Fu.In the first microblog post, the bureau pledged to offer the latest police affairs news, anti-fraud tips and stories of model community police.The bureau has posted dozens of practical anti-fraud and anti-theft tips and police affairs news, including training programs for special police and stories about model police officers serving their first day on the police force.More than 17,600 people logged onto the microblog service on Sunday and some posts received hundreds of comments.Most welcomed the services, saying it can bridge the gap between police and average citizens and change the traditionally mysterious and superior image of police officers."This is really a good thing. Let's applaud the social progress and gradual government openness," said netizen Tongtianniu."Welcome! It is badly needed to face directly to public opinion now," said netizen Lijiazhufu.Some netizens, however, blasted the services as "too official", calling on police authorities to use simpler words and sentences in the microblog posts.Liu Dawei, head of the bureau's new public relations office, said the staff in her office would accept netizens' opinions and suggestions in a sincere and open-minded way."We will strive to build a bridge of interaction and equal communication," Liu said."The microblog can be used as a good way to solicit public opinion. For a public security department, I believe it can help solve criminal cases by widely obtaining clues from the public," said Huang Qiliang, a translator with a global non-profit organization.In the past, police authorities have been criticized for their being passive or not responding to some cases, even after details had previously been published in widely read media reports.Wang Dawei, a professor at the Chinese People's Public Security University, said with the new services the police have made a positive shift from passive actions to taking the initiative.In addition, the general public can offer clues for criminal cases, as they are the main force in curbing crimes, Wang said.
