Give regulations teeth

China Daily | Updated: 2012-07-11 08:00

Will they work as desired?

This is the question the majority of residents will be asking about the new regulations published by the State Council to check the squandering of public money on official receptions, trips overseas and vehicles.

Unlike previous decrees, such as the 1994 regulations on the use of official vehicles and the 2006 regulations on the management of official receptions, the new regulations, which come into force on Oct 1, stipulate that even county level governments should disclose their budget and spending on receptions, vehicles and overseas trips. They also specify that officials can be demoted or dismissed from their positions if they seriously break the rules.
