Members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) should improve their working styles to protect people's legal interests, said a senior CPC official on Saturday.

Wu Guanzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a working inspection in Tianjin during China's traditional Spring Festival.

He called on all CPC members to safeguard people's current interests while pay attention to their long-term demands under the guidance of the important thought of Three Represents and the concept of scientific development.

Special efforts should be made to solve problems in education and medical service, enterprise restructuring and safety production, said Wu.

He also called for more transparency in administration procedures, so as to ensure people's rights of information, participation in and supervision of government work.

During his stay in Tianjin, Wu visited local enterprises, communities, police stations and rural areas.
