State Councilor stresses govt policy implementation

BEIJING - Chinese State Councilor Yang Jing on Saturday stressed the importance of implementation of government policies, saying inspection teams from the the State Council, China's cabinet, will be dispatched nationwide to check the implementation in a serious manner.

Proposal for punishing the officials who have not fulfilled their duties will be unveiled after the inspection, said Yang.

Eight inspection teams will be dispatched to different localities and government departments to evaluate the implementation of government policies, the State Council announced earlier this month.

The inspection will last from June 25 to July 5 on policies launched by the State Council since the second half of 2013.

Inspection teams should conduct objective assessment of implementation effects of policies by local governments and government departments, find difficulties in implementing the policies and offer suggestions on how to solve them, Yang said.

A string of moves has been announced by the central government since last year to stabilize economic growth, deepen reforms, promote economic restructuring and benefit the people.
