Targets for cutting red tape set by premier

Premier Li Keqiang has set goals for the streamlining of administration this year and instructed the government to use big data and cloud computing to innovate in the field of supervision.

"The greatest truths are the simplest. Those in power must not stubbornly pursue their own aims," Li said on Tuesday.

He was speaking during a teleconference held by the State Council to push forward administrative reforms.
