To date, 53 of all the central departments directly under the State Council have set special leading groups to guide the work, with 28 writing down special rules to that effect.

"To promote the openness of the government affairs is a major content of the development of socialist democracy," said He Yong, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

According to Gan, some Chinese localities and departments have compiled a category of government affairs that should be made public timely after streamlining administrative power. "We will consider promoting the practice nationwide," he said.

In a bid to prevent possible corruption in the financing field, China is building a centralized payment system that requires all funds be directly channeled into the accounts.

All the central departments, together with their 3,643 units, have already adopted the practice, said Gan.

Wu Guanzheng, Secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, has instructed discipline and supervision bodies at different levels to exercise their roles to prompt the government to work cleanly.

Before this, Hu Jintao, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, described the improvement of anti-corruption capability as one of the two critical tasks that the CPC has to face and stressed the anti-corruption work should "never be unfix at any moment".
