Anti-graft drive in people’s interests
Print Edition
CHINA’S nearly 4-year-old campaign against corruption is not politically biased and only seeks to defend the interests of the country’s 1.3 billion people, a leading Party official said yesterday.
Wu Yuliang told reporters that those speculating that the campaign was being used to target political foes were acting out of ulterior motives.
“In the past some people accused us of inaction in the face of corruption, and now that we have intensified efforts to fight corruption, we have been accused of being selective,” Wu said. “I’m afraid those (critics) may have other purposes or motives.”
Wu’s comments came the day after a major meeting of the Party that renewed the drive to end corruption and tighten discipline within the 88 million-member organization that has run the nation since 1949 when the New China was founded.
More than a million Party members have been punished in the anti-corruption campaign, which has also brought down two former top generals and a past member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
“When uprooting rotten trees one has to start with the most rotten ones. If that is called selective I have to say this is just the way we do our work,” said Wu, who is vice secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The ruling Party “pursues wholeheartedly benefits for the people, and we are making anti-corruption efforts wholly for the purpose of the interests of the people and the country,” he said.
