Market economics and the rule of law demand clean government. We have expended much effort in this area. But the punishment of corrupt officials still lags far behind the incidence of corruption. If we are to meet the standards demanded by the WTO, our anti-corruption methods must be modernized. We must mobilize public opinion through the media.
Every citizen has the right to expose corruption.
Using the freedom of the press, we will improve the efficiency of our fight against corruption. The WTO's impact on the economy will be enormous. Take trade liberalization. In the WTO each country enjoys NTR treatment from the others. As a result of investment liberalization, not only will foreign companies be allowed to set up joint and cooperation ventures and wholly owned entities, but new arenas for their investment will be opened - mergers and acquisitions and the purchase of SOEs.
