'Power of officials should be for the people'

Officials' power is granted by the people and should be used for the people, and that power must be exercised in the open, President Xi Jinping said on Friday.

Xi made the remarks during his visit to the Hebei provincial department of civil affairs on Friday morning, the second day of his inspection tour in the province.

At the social welfare and social affairs section of the department, Xi viewed a wall adorned with the names and duties of officials and workers.
