Specifically, regarding administrative reform reports, it is necessary to innovate the way of thinking and reporting in the spirit of self-criticism and criticism, ensuring the principle of "clear people, clear work"; which agencies and units have done well and which have not done well need to be frankly stated in the report.

In particular, it is necessary to clearly analyze the causes of the decline in administrative reform indexes and public administrative management efficiency indexes and propose specific solutions; at the same time, invest in facilities and equipment, arrange human resources, train and improve the capacity of cadres and civil servants to effectively perform administrative reform tasks according to the 2-level local government model.
