Nice way of getting rid of outdated documents

After having previously cancelled 489 documents, the State Council announced a few days ago that another 506 such documents would be abrogated. The central government's consistent attitude toward obsolete documents manifests its reformist spirit and belief in the fact that "the arrow cannot be reversed once shot". The central government's efforts to simplify procedures, delegate some of its powers to lower-level governments and optimize services also signify it is committed to honoring its promise of giving the market a decisive role to play in the distribution of resources.
