Improving Work Style to Get Things Done and Benefit the People
[Zhang Yanjia]: Members of the Party Leadership Group are required to fill in, on quarterly base, those forms reflecting expenses on social networking, position-related consumptions, spending on official receptions, vehicle purchases, and overseas trips (the so-called official expenditures) as well as details about going abroad. All will be collected and turned over to the Working Committee, as a way to show their initiatives to put themselves under supervision. 02/13/2014 11:30:42
[Zhang Yanjia]: Meanwhile, the group also formulated detailed rules for implementation of the Regulations on Practicing Thrift and Opposing Waste in Party and Government Bodies, and continued to establish and optimize the long-term mechanism for improving style of work. 02/13/2014 11:31:00
[Netizen: a religious zealot]: As far as I know, China Customs exercises a vertical management system. Then how do the subordinate units react to directions during a campaign? 02/13/2014 9:46:04
[Zhang Yanjia]: During a mass line campaign, the Party Leadership Group of GACC, in light of characteristics of the vertical management system, not only attaches importance to the campaign within itself and departments (units) of GACC, but offers guidance to all customs districts directly under the GACC. When it comes to conferences and arrangements of great significance, teleconference system will be in use, with a purpose to coordinate and line up the activities of Customs nationwide. 02/13/2014 11:33:02
[Zhang Yanjia]: In addition, it is required that such second batch as local subordinate Customs should make advanced moves and lose no time in performing duties and making remedies, so as to prepare for the next and deeper mass line campaign. 02/13/2014 11:34:16
[Netizen: sty]: Secretary Zhang, what is your opinion on the roles of leading cadres during the campaign? And how did the leading groups of Customs play their roles in practice? 02/13/2014 9:46:59
[Zhang Yanjia]: Leadership acts as a key to the substantial results of the campaign. During the activities, leading groups and leading cadres at all levels firmly established the sense of participation, serving not only as the organizers, but also as the participants, and always took the lead throughout the course. 02/13/2014 11:35:36
[Zhang Yanjia]: The Party Leadership Group earnestly organized learning activities, set examples in criticism and self-criticism and established points of contact to direct the whole course, turning itself into a pacemaker for all Customs across the country. 02/13/2014 11:35:52
[Zhang Yanjia]: Leading groups of all units and their members actively devoted themselves to locating problems and analyzing reasons, and then put forward practical and effective correction measures. Those top leaders in particular played an exemplary role and undertook their obligations, giving a boost to the sound development of the campaign and justifying themselves with their own achievements. 02/13/2014 11:36:31
