People-oriented benevolent governance
Post-60s officers care more about ordinary people's lives, and generally are more practical. They know well about what civilians are really concerned about because of their abundant grassroots work experience. Compared with the post-40s and the post-50s generations, post-60s officers pay more attention to their public image.
Second, they advocate institutionalization and benevolent governance. Post-60s officers have a stronger legal consciousness, which is a fundamental guarantee for a stable country. In addition, they aspire to govern the state in a more benevolent way, including communicating and negotiating with civilians as well as respecting them, because they understand that compulsory orders do not solve problems but only make matters worse.
Governing styles formed in experience
Zhou Qiang, Party chief of Hunan Province, was majored in law. He has made outstanding reforms in Hunan to establish rule of law. "The Regulations of Hunan Province on Administrative Procedures" released in April 2008, was an important innovative experiment in governance.
Wang Limin, law professor of Renmin Univeristy of China, believes that the essence of Zhou Qiang's policy is to make sure that the power is restricted by law.
Significant governing idea
China's post-60s senior officers, as the core of local government, will be responsible for building society in an all-round way as China develops over the next five years. Some of them may become the leaders of the Chinese government in the next ten years. Thus, their governing ideas will undoubtedly have great impact on China's future development. Although more conflicts may appear in China, the post-60s officers understand clearly that the reform and opening up policy is the only choice for China. Therefore they will look forward, instead of reverting to the old ideas of governance.
