It now works with 49 state-owned public service enterprises and institutions to offer a major hotline service of the city.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 750 lines receive questions and complaints related to public services from local residents 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We find the most frequently reported city problems or demands, based on all the hotline calls we receive, and then take action,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Geng Yu<\/span>, chief of the reform division of &#8220;Handling A Complaint Upon Receipt&#8221; at the Beijing Municipal Administration of Government Affairs Services. &#8220;We put the people at the center no matter whether it is about urban governance or providing services to the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The approach city managers take to solve residents&#8217; problems reveals a lot about a government&#8217;s mindset regarding urban management and the way it treats its people.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an old saying that&#8217;s well known in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>: &#8220;The water that keeps a ship afloat can also overturn it.&#8221; Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> (CPC) Central Committee, once quoted it to describe the relationship between the people and the Party. In this case, water refers to the people while the boat refers to the Party&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The saying suggests that only by taking good care of the people&#8217;s needs can the CPC win their support. That&#8217;s why the CPC has made it a basic principle to serve the people wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n<p>Xi has urged that &#8220;tackling problems that prompt the strongest public reaction and that threaten to erode the very foundation of the Party&#8217;s governance&#8221; must be prioritized.<\/p>\n<p>In the report Xi delivered to the 20th CPC National Congress in 2022, he said &#8220;we must protect the people&#8217;s fundamental interests, improve their well-being, and work tirelessly to ensure that development is for the people and by the people and that its fruits are shared by the people. We must do a better job of seeing that the gains of modernization benefit all our people fairly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Xi also stressed the significance of a basic principle: &#8220;The aspirations of the people to live a better life must always be the focus of our efforts. We must keep on striving with endless energy toward the great goal of national rejuvenation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2023-06-03\/Why-is-people-centered-development-crucial-to-China--1kkmnFUe74Y\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2023-06-03\/Why-is-people-centered-development-crucial-to-China&#8211;1kkmnFUe74Y\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YcDsr0qk5NM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YcDsr0qk5NM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEIJING, June 5, 2023 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; In September 2021, a Beijing resident called a city hotline to report there were no bus routes near a newly built school in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp; Two months later, a new bus route was launched.
