China's entry into the WTO will lead to great changes in its administration system, said Yang Jingyu, director of the Legal Affairs Office under the State Council, Saturday.

 Entering the World Trade Organization (WTO) poses a major challenge to the government's capability in administrative control, as the new rules differ greatly from the present ones.

The government should concentrate more on economic regulation, market supervision and public service, while reducing administrative examination and approval in the economic field, Yang said at a lecture on the legal system held during the 25th session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

According to him, China has been working to revise administrative rules and regulations so that they conform to WTO rules and China's commitments to the international community on its WTO entry.

After the accession, 25 of the 30 government administrative regulations that need drafting or amending have been completed while 12 others have been abolished.

The implementation of 36 State Council documents on administration will be stopped very soon, he disclosed.
