EIGHT-POINT CODE CUTS RED TAPE, WEEDS OUT CORRUPTION

Study and education campaign encourages improved efforts, grassroots benefits

Huang Dairong, a grassroots worker from Chongqing's Qianjiang district, used to spend most of her time in the office collecting data, filling out forms and researching material. Being able to visit a residential area to address people's difficulties face-to-face was a rare occurrence.

"I was often interrupted by frequent requests for data from various departments. One time, shortly after a local women's federation had collected data, the cultural department came asking for it, which cost me half a day looking at repetitive statistics and filling out forms," she said.

Thanks to a new "one-form" system, Huang now has more time to visit communities, interact with residents, and address their problems in person.
