'Laziness' shows local government's mindset

TWO RARE EBONY ARTIFACTS, which were found on a riverbank in Suining in Southwest China's Sichuan province about half a month ago, remain unattended to and lie unprotected in the open because none of the relevant local government departments are willing to take responsibility for them. Rednet.cn urges the government departments to coordinate closely to address the issue instead of shirking their responsibilities:

The relevant government departments are supposed to coordinate and cooperate to handle such a public issue, and together work out an unambiguous plan in which at least one of them takes care of the issue. Instead, they have simply kicked the can from one to another.

It is notable that some local departments are going to extremes to shirk their responsibilities against the backdrop of stricter supervision over the use of public power in the country.
