Shanghai Mayor and Acting Party Chief Han Zheng urged the government to explore ways to better manage Party membership administration during an inspection tour of the Party's grassroots units yesterday.

The government should use new methods to improve the management of Party membership as well as the services to Party members at the grassroots level, Han said. He also defined three priorities for organizing grassroots Party membership: create a favorable working environment; develop an efficient mechanism; and recruit an energetic unit of workers.

The measures also include building service centers for grassroots Party members, establishing Party units in office buildings and recruiting professionals to work for the units.

On his tour, he inspected conference and leisure facilities for Party members working near the Lujiazui area and Jing'an Temple. Deputy Party Secretary Wang Anshun also attended the inspection.

Shanghai has made great efforts to improve the management of grassroots Party memberships these years, Han said.
