All eyes on officials' bad work style

Experts said the outcry of Internet users demanding the elimination of wrongdoings gears up governments' implementation of the eight requirements.

"Internet supervision is a good way for citizens' voices to be heard, especially when government's supervision methods on the eight requirements have not come out yet," said Wu Hui, professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Internet users were impressed that an investigation can yield results in such a short period of time and that the government is taking the online reporting channel seriously.

"Governments' quick responses show our officials care about citizens' concerns," said "Xiaoyige rocks", who believed they could develop much closer relations with the public.

Ren Zhiqiang, a well-known outspoken real estate boss, commented on weibo.com that he believes more similar measures will follow, and the new leadership will not disappoint people.

However, some said supervision through the Internet still has to be improved.

"What is the most appropriate way for Internet users to report officials, how should the government accept and handle these reports, and what role should the media take? There should be laws to address these questions." "Xiaoertiao" commented.

Internet user "Kunlun" said "Internet supervision may become personal criticisms or groundless allegations, and the problem lies in verification. It is unrealistic for Xinhua to send correspondents to investigate every complaint Internet users make."
