In 2011, on the principle of being timely, precise, public and transparent, the State Council Information Office has taken multiple ways to introduce the situation of economic, political, cultural and social development in China, set forth the principles, standpoints, guidelines and policies of the Chinese Government, actively respond to public opinions both at home and abroad, and vigorously improve the country’s cultural soft power. It has mainly done work in the following aspects: I. Effectively boosting news release work, and providing information on the economic and social development of China both in time and precisely. In 2011, the Information Office held 78 press conferences, other departments both of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council held 626 news release conferences, and Party committees and governments at provincial (region or municipality directly under the Central Government) level held 1,507 press conferences. So, the press conferences held in 2011 totaled 2,211, 335 more than those in 2010. The press conferences held in 2011 were characterized with the following points: firstly, serial news release activities were performed surrounding the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CPC and the “12th Five-year Plan”. Departments such as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Party School of the CPC Central Committee were invited to introduce the building and development of the CPC in the press conferences; journalists both from China and foreign countries were organized to gather information on the State Archives Administration of the People's Republic of China, the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau, the Yan’an Revolutionary Historical Relics and the China Yan’an Executive Leadership Academy, introducing the glorious history and great achievements of the CPC vividly; press conferences attended by outstanding CPC party members at basic units and Party affair workers were held, presenting the exemplary role and sublime spirit of CPC members at basic units; and journalists both from China and foreign countries were organized to gather information for the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CPC. Under the theme of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, all local departments in China performed various activities to release information on CPC affairs. Meanwhile, 2011 was the first year of the “12th Five-year Plan”. Surrounding the “12th Five-year Plan”, we invited such departments as the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the State Administration of Work Safety and pertinent leaders from Hebei, Henan and Shaanxi provinces to introduce situations. Secondly, the building of a news release system was further boosted. From the perspective of the building of a news spokesperson system in Party committees, spokesperson systems have been set up in 13 departments and units of the Central Committee of the CPC, 31 provinces (regions or municipalities directly under the Central Government), the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, five separately planned cities and all provincial capitals’ CPC committees. The building of a news release system in governments has been further improved, and efforts have been made on the building of systemization and regularization. Thirdly, the research, discussion and training concerning news release work have been further intensified. We held symposiums attended by spokespersons and news work leaders from 74 related departments of the CPC Central Committee and of the Central Government, carefully summarized the successful results of work on governmental news release, and actively shared experience for further boosting the news release work. We have held training sessions for spokespersons of CPC committees at national level and training sessions for the public opinions channeling work on emergency incidents, training in succession spokespersons both from departments of the CPC Central Committee and those from the CPC committees and governments at provincial (region or municipality directly under the State Council) level. We have cooperated with the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the CPC and the Fujian Provincial Committee of the CPC to hold “advanced training sessions for news release and public opinion channeling work”, intensifying the consciousness of transparent Party affairs and governmental affairs among leading cadres at all levels and their abilities and levels to contact the media. II. Organizing the writing and publishing of the white papers of the Central Government, explaining to the international community the Chinese Government’s policies and propositions on important issues. China published nine white papers in 2011, more than any other year in history. We have organized the writing and publishing of the white paper China’s Peaceful Development, solemnly stating and profoundly explaining that China’s adherence to the path of peaceful development is a historical certainty and has its world significance. This has helped the international community to better understand the trend of future development of China. We have organized the writing and publishing of the white paper The Socialist System of Laws with Chinese Characteristics, which completely and systematically expatiates on the formation, structure and characteristics of the legal system of China and the further improvement of it. This white paper is a publication about the building of governance by law next to the China’s Efforts and Achievements in Promoting the Rule of Law published in 2008. We have organized the writing and publishing of the white paper China’s National Defense in 2010, introducing the two-year modernization of national defense and army of China in all aspects, and presenting an image of opening and transparency. We have organized the writing and publishing of the two white papers China’s Foreign Trade and China’s Foreign Aid, giving a comprehensive introduction to the efforts that China has made to join the world economy and build a harmonious world of permanent peace and common prosperity, and reflecting China’s image of a responsible large country. We have organized the writing and publishing of the white paper Sixty Years since Peaceful Liberation of Tibet, employing convincing historical facts and data to introduce the historical achievements that Tibet has made in the 60 years since its peaceful liberation. We have organized the writing and publishing of New Progress in Development-oriented Poverty Reduction Program for Rural China, systematically introducing the efforts and achievements that China has made in relieving and eliminating poverty in rural areas, and sufficiently reflecting the important contributions that China has made to the cause of global poverty reduction. In addition, we have also published the white papers China’s Policies and Actions for Addressing Climate Change (2011) and China’s Space Activities in 2011. 原文见 http://www.scio.gov.cn/zxbd/wz/201201/t1084405.htm
