Beijing symposium urges officials to embrace 'down-to-earth' work style

A symposium took place in Beijing on Wednesday, attended by senior officials to discuss and advance the central leadership's call for officials to engage in grassroots-level research, address complaints, and firsthand engagement with local communities.

The symposium stressed that this practical approach should become a key focus of thematic education for all departments and Party organizations across the country. The goal is to foster a closer connection between officials and the public.

Participants emphasized the need for officials to deepen their understanding of the directive and translate it into tangible results. This calls for proactive research, attentive reception of public grievances, and active participation in everyday grassroots work.
