In his talks with local people, the NPC leader called for stepping up restriction and supervision on power, increasing people's orderly participation in political life, bringing market role into full display in areas where the use of market mechanism is necessary and prohibiting deals between power and money.
He called for hard measures against corrupt officials and punish them and making great efforts to eliminate the factors of corruption.
