Luo Gan (C), member of
the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist
Party of China Central Committee, meets with members of the
National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC) from the media printing circles who attend the
Fifth Session of the 10th National Committee of the CPPCC, in
Beijing, capital of China, March 4, 2007.
Chinese media should play an important role in spreading
advanced culture and promoting social harmony in the country, a
senior leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said in Beijing
on Sunday.
New media, such as the Internet, should serve as an important
platform to help create a favorable public opinion environment for
the upcoming CPC National Congress, said Luo Gan, a member of the Standing Committee of
the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, when attending a
panel meeting of the country's political advisors who convened in
Beijing for their annual session.
Supervision on the government and the Party through public
opinion should be strengthened while a healthy Internet culture
should be promoted, Luo told a group of members of the National
Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC) from media circles.
He said more efforts should be made to push forward the reform
of the distribution system in the publishing sector, set up more
libraries in the countryside to enrich farmers' cultural life, and
crack down on pornographic and illegal publications.
The fifth session of CPPCC's 10th National Committee started on
Saturday afternoon in the Great Hall of the People and is scheduled
to end on March 15.
