BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- The reform of China's law enforcement
and judicial system will focus on limiting and supervising the use
of power, said Chinese President Hu Jintao here on Tuesday.
Hu made the statement when meeting with officials from the law
enforcement bodies as well as Justices and prosecutors.
The President pledged that China will promote law enforcement and
judicial system reforms "actively and steadily."
The reform is intended to close the loopholes in the system that the
public complains most about and to regulate law enforcement
activities so as to create a fair and effective system, he said,
adding that malpractice would be targeted.
Law enforcement and judicial branches of government should
prioritize the rights and interests of the people and try their best
to solve the problems that matter most to the public, while working
to protect state security, he said.
Special attention must be paid to curbing crimes and maintaining law
and order through preventive measures and penalties, Hu said.
"The Party organs at all levels shall set an example of abiding by
the Constitution and laws and support the work of law enforcement,"
said Hu, who is also the General Secretary of the Central Committee
of Communist Party of China (CPC).
The President also asked the police, the procuratorates and courts
to improve staff training.
The country needs to promote the public awareness of the law and
ensure that the rule of law is part of the behavior of every
citizen, Hu said.
"Justice and law enforcement are vital to the state. Its major tasks
are to safeguard the rule of the Party, state security, the
interests of the people and social stability," he said.
The meeting was presided over by Zhou Yongkang, the secretary of the
Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the CPC Central
Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Other leaders present were Wu
Bangguo, Wen Jiabao and Xi Jinping.
