PRESIDENT Hu Jintao yesterday vowed that China would wage the fight against corruption with greater determination and more forceful measures as the situation "remains grave."
Addressing a plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Communist Party's anti-graft body, Hu said all work should be done with the fundamental interests of the majority of the people as the core concern.
The president admitted that prominent problems remained in the fight against corruption and efforts to build a clean government, and warned of a "grave situation and arduous tasks."
Hu said problems that seriously violated the public interest and sparked the most public complaints should be addressed to ensure social justice.
He said efforts were needed to strengthen ties between the Party and the people and to enable the people to play a more active role in fighting corruption.
Hu pledged to "combat graft strictly and punish corrupt officials severely" so as to win the people's trust.
He called for enhanced supervision of the implementation of central government policies and measures and the promotion of a corruption-free work style among officials.
"More efforts should be made to investigate graft in key industries and key posts," he added, stressing supervision of procedures concerning the promotion of local officials.
Figures from the CCDI show 146,517 officials across China were punished for disciplinary violations last year, including 5,098 leaders at county head level or above and 804 officials who were referred for prosecution.
Discipline inspection bodies received almost 1.43 million petitions and tip-offs last year and recovered 8.97 billion yuan (US$1.35 billion) in economic losses for the state.
"All Party officials must serve the people with all their hearts and use their power to seek benefits for them. Only by doing so can our work earn the most comprehensive and solid foundation among the people and stand the tests of storms and risks," Hu said.
He called for the building of a democratic decision-making system that would take the people's ideas fully into account.
Hu called for unsparing efforts to promote an efficient work style and solve problems concerning people's lives to ensure their economic, political, cultural and social rights.
He called for improvements in the anti-corruption system in accordance with an amended regulation which added articles detailing punishments for corrupt officials and set out penalties for corrupt Party officials who have left their posts or retired.
