Wen details China's 'shortcomings':
[World News]: BEIJING, March 5 : Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao presented his assessment of China's weaknesses during a Saturday speech at the opening session of the National People's Congress.

Wen said: "We are ...keenly aware that there are still quite a few shortcomings in the government's work.Self-reform and transformation of government functions is behind schedule, there are still too many items requiring administrative approval, and social management and public services are inadequate."

He said responsibilities of some governmental departments are so unclear it makes effective coordination difficult.The premier also said some governmental management practices are faulty and productivity is low.

"Some problems affecting the vital interests of the people have still not been fundamentally solved," he said."Some government employees are not conscientious enough about performing their duties in accordance with the law.

"The problems of formalism, bureaucracy, dishonesty, extravagance and waste are relatively severe.Corruption is serious in some localities, departments and organizations," he added Wen urged government officials to "face the above mentioned problems squarely and continue to adopt measures to solve them."
