Xiao Jie, state councilor, secretary-general of the State Council and head of the national leading group of government affairs disclosure, chaired the second meeting of the group on June 28 and heard reports on promoting administrative affairs in key fields and implementing newly-revised disclosure rules.

Xiao stressed that disclosure of administrative affairs is an important mechanism to serve the people and accept their supervision.

He required coordinated efforts of departments at all levels to make the whole process public, including decision making, execution, management, services and results.

In-depth interpretation of major policies should be increased to respond in a timely manner to people’s concerns, the sharing of administrative information should be sped up and supervision services should be simplified and transparent, he said.

And, the audit mechanism for information disclosure on government websites and other platforms, as well as government information management, should be improved.

Xiao also called on efforts to carry out revised rules on government information disclosure, and refine the disclosure application system.
