Generally speaking, the credibility of our government is high. Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown steadily for a long time, and people's living standards have been continuously improved. With the deepening of administrative system reform, the government's social management and public services have been continuously improved, and the government's credibility has been continuously improved.

Summary of Hot Topics and Model Essays of "Application for Civil Service Examination" in 2007

First, the transformation of government functions lags behind. Due to the failure to perform government functions well, some local governments are still in charge of things that should not, cannot and cannot be managed well. In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the people's demand for public services and products is rising, and their expectations for the government are rising, but the government functions have not changed in time, resulting in the people's low subjective evaluation of government credit. Some local governments unilaterally pursue GDP growth, give too much play to the role of market competitors, and ignore the government's social management and public service functions.

Second, the traditional government management model can not meet the new requirements of the development of market economy. Deepening reform involves a wide range and involves deep-seated interest adjustment. The complexity and arduousness of the reform have obviously increased, which puts higher demands on the ability of governments at all levels to deal with complex problems. Some government officials are not good at correctly handling contradictions among the people under the new situation, and their ability to handle complex situations and crisis management is poor, complicating simple issues and losing the trust of the masses. Because some government departments lack scientific, democratic and transparent decision-making, low administrative efficiency, bureaucracy, formalism and corruption, the government lacks affinity and appeal.

Third, there are still many imperfections in the government's administration according to law. Due to the failure to properly solve the problems of non-compliance, unfair law enforcement, multi-head law enforcement, law enforcement disturbing people, and ineffective law enforcement supervision, some local governments lack authority. Because the administrative accountability system is not clear, some government departments and civil servants' illegal administrative acts can not be punished as they should, which makes the sense of responsibility of civil servants dilute. The above situation not only damages the reputation and image of the government, but also weakens the ruling foundation of the government.

On major decision-making matters related to the overall economic and social development and closely related to the interests of the people, we should solicit opinions from all walks of life. Strengthen the responsibility system for administrative decision-making, and hold the principal leaders and parties responsible for violating decision-making procedures and making mistakes, which have caused great losses to the interests of the state and the masses. At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively promote the openness of government affairs, protect citizens' right to know, increase the transparency of government work, establish an interactive response mechanism between the government and the public on government-related information, and improve the government's response ability and social response ability.
