国内英语新闻：Senior Party leader stresses maintaining stability at grassroots level

BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- Senior Party leader Zhou Yongkang Wednesday asked all law enforcement organs to maintain social stability through careful work at the grassroots level.

    It will be an important task for all law enforcement organs to create a peaceful social environment next year to welcome the 60thanniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, said Zhou, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, at a conference of law enforcement officials nationwide.

    Law enforcement organs should try their best to find out and properly solve the problems at the grassroots level so as to prevent mass incidents from happening, he said.

    He also asked them to prevent and crack down upon serious crimes that threatened people's life and property.

    Law enforcement organs should also contribute to the country's economic work through effective implementation of laws, he said.

    They were asked to effectively handle cases of violation of economic laws and work to maintain the market order.

    Next year the country will push forwards the reform on its judicial system, such as to improve supervision on law enforcement organs, Zhou said. He vowed to fight corruption in law enforcement organs.
