Crackdown on government cars begins in earnest

A high-profile publicity official in Southwest China's Yunnan province said he will strive to prevent government cars from being used for private purposes.

Wu Hao, chief of the publicity department of the Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecture, made the comment on his micro blog on Thursday, saying his department will continue a "micro reform".

Wu was responding to some people who questioned his right to use solely a government vehicle.
