People's Daily conducted a survey on the Internet about how to strictly manage officials and received more than 4,000 valid responses.

近日，《人民日报》在网上进行了一项关于如何进行从严治吏的调查，收到读者4000多份有效回复。

The results show that more than half of the respondents believe the most important thing the authorities should address is the working style of government officials. 

调查结果显示，超半数受访者认为，从严治吏，最应治理干部“作风不正”。

调查还显示，近半受访者认为，某些官员腐败(corrupt)，对工作不负责任(irresponsible in their work)。而关于如何“治吏”(manage the officials)的问题，约2/3的受访者认为，政府应从“从严监督”(strengthen their supervision)和“从严选拔”(be stricter in selecting officials)两个层面入手。而超1/3受访者要求政府建立更好的问责机制(a better accountability system)。
