Chinese Premier Li Keqiang lambasted redundant and laggard procedures for implementing central policies curry 2 low white , calling for simplified measures and delegation of powers to lower levels.
"Some policies that were approved by executive meetings of the State Council cannot be implemented timely as they were stuck by lower-ranking functionaries (in ministries)," Li was quoted as saying Wednesday at a State Council executive meeting, by the cabinet's website on Thursday.
Li was responding to on-site reports of ministries that policies made in previous executive meetings had not yet been implemented as such drafts were still waiting for signatures by related departments, calling it weird.
"Isn't it a waste of time?" Li was said to interrupt one of his interlocutors. "You ministers attended those meetings and had no different opinions at that time. Should division chiefs (in respective ministries) gate-keep our policies?"
