Supervision by shining spotlight of public opinion on power-holders

SHANDONG AND HAINAN provinces have pledged to reinforce the public's supervision over Party and State organs. Changjiang Daily commented on Tuesday:

At its 19th National Congress in October, the Communist Party of China vowed to strengthen inner-Party supervision and State organ supervision by encouraging supervision by the public.

The supervisory mechanisms are expected to function as a whole so as to form an all-weather anti-graft environment. Yet supervision by the public has proved to be the short board of the bucket in practice, which affects the whole supervisory system's effect.
