Journalists covering the Olympics can lodge complaints directly with Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG), if they feel dissatisfied.
Senior leader Li Changchun made the remarks Thursday during an inspection tour at the 2008 Beijing International Media Center (BIMC) and pledged China would provide good media services for journalists covering the Olympics.
The center opened on Tuesday to serve more than 5,000 non-accredited reporters during the Games.
"China will earnestly abide by relevant regulations regarding foreign journalists' reporting activities in the country," Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, told reporters.
He expressed hopes that overseas journalists could provide full Olympic coverage and tell the world the truth about China.
He also expressed high hopes that foreign journalists would extensively report on the three themes for the upcoming Games - namely, hi-tech Olympics, green Olympics and the people's Olympics.
Li urged the BIMC staff to ensure smooth and safe signal transmissions during the Games, which had been a major concern among overseas journalists.
In addition, he voiced confidence of maintaining the Olympic security.
"China is fully capable of ensuring a safe Games," he said.
"(The center) should listen to reporters' opinions and let them evaluate your service quality," Li told BIMC head Zhai Huisheng.
"Non-registered reporters have the most say in where improvement is needed here," he said.
Clad in a pink shirt with Liu by his side, Li told two reporters from Colombia: "Should you have any complaints about the service of the staff here, just file them with Liu Qi."
The four-story BIMC covers 60,000 sq m of a newly decorated hotel.
It features three working areas, two press conference halls, an exhibition area and a catering area. Above the fourth floor are guest rooms open only to journalists during the Games.
On January 1, 2007, regulations took effect on foreign journalists' reporting activities in China during the Beijing Olympics and the preparatory period.
Changes in the rules mean that foreign reporters are no longer required to be accompanied by a government official when reporting, or to apply to provincial foreign affairs offices for permission to report in any province, autonomous region or municipality.
