Major task is to end graft

China’s Communist Party yesterday vowed to establish a system to punish and prevent corruption under a “grim and complicated” situation.

“To stop the spread of corruption should be a major task and goal for the whole party,” said a statement released after a meeting of the Party’s Political Bureau.

The meeting again stressed a crackdown on both “tigers” and “flies” in anticorruption investigations of Party officials.

“Corruption is still a common phenomenon, the soil that nourishes corruption still exists, and the situation remains critical and complicated,” the statement said.

It added that building an anticorruption system was a “major political task” for the Party and a common responsibility for society as a whole.

The Party must strictly discipline its members and punish corrupt officials more severely, the statement said.

Officials’ exercise of power must be checked and supervised to create a system whereby officials dare not be corrupt and corruption tends not to happen.
