We are now joined by our current affairs commentator Dr. Gao Zhikai for more analysis.
1. Corruption of high-level officials
We learned from the report that eight officials at provincial or ministerial levels were put under graft probes last year. Actually, there has been an increasing number of corruption cases on high-level officials in China since the 1990's? What's your view on this trend?
2. Reporting officials' property useful?
It's being debated whether the country should set up a transparent system to report the officials' property. Do you think this could be an effective way to curb corruption? Is it possible to put the idea into real practice?
3. Guarantee of justice in judicial system
Judicial corruption is also of high concern. This year's judicial report says some judges and high judicial officials were engaged in embezzlement and graft, which lead to unjust sentencing. What measures are needed to guarantee fair and just sentences in the judicial system?
