| Ever since China
opened up to the world in 1980's, the Shanghai Municipal Government,
led by the Communist Party of China and the State Council, makes
great effort to build the city into an international economic, financial,
trade and shipping center. With the cooperation and hardwork of
Shanghai people, the city is progressing to its goal as a global
metropolitan. The new team of leaders of the Shanghai government
took office in February 2003. "The power of the government
is entrusted by the people; the interest of people is above all,"
as Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng promise in his inaugural. Guided by
the Shanghai Party Committee, the city's new leadership vows to
strictly perform its official duties; to make significant progress
in self-improvement, and to intensify the shift of its role from
administrative to public service. The Shanghai government will build
itself into a service government that would share with the people
all their happiness and troubles; a solid responsible government
that is efficient, honest and diligent; a law-abiding government
that respects legal system and rules strictly and impartially. |
