The Chinese government will severely crack down on crimes
committed by Mafia-like gangs, violent crimes, frequent
property-related crimes, and drug-related crimes, Premier Wen
Jiabao said Friday.
"We will increase our efforts to deal with serious crimes and
areas with serious security problems," Wen said in his report on
the work of the government delivered at the opening of the national
legislature.
The government is duty-bound to ensure peace and security for
the people, he stressed, adding, "We will further implement all
measures to improve all facets of public security and press ahead
with efforts to build a crime prevention and control system."
The premier told the legislators that funding mechanism for
procuratorial, judicial and public security organs will be improved
in order to ensure their smooth operation.
"We take terrorism seriously and will intensify our battle
against it. We will expand and deepen our battle against cults," he
said.
To ensure public order and social stability, it is imperative
that the government correctly handles internal contradictions among
the people as they crop up under changing circumstances, improve
the mechanism for forestalling and resolving conflicts and
disputes, and properly handle letters and complaints from the
people, he noted.
