Rules to make procurement more transparent

A draft of regulations enforcing the Government Procurement Law was passed by China's cabinet, the State Council, on Wednesday.

The regulations are part of China's efforts to build a cleaner government ruled by law, according to a statement released after the meeting, which was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang.

A transparent and strict mechanism for government procurement will help to root out corruption and further regulate the government's power, the statement said.
