More efforts plea in graft battle

CHINA’S leaders have ordered more efforts to build clean politics and tackle corruption.

Existing corruption should be reduced next year and any rise in corruption contained, according to a statement issued after a meeting of the Politburo presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Party’s Central Committee.

The meeting scheduled the seventh plenary session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for January 6-8.

Attendees heard a CCDI report on their work this year, and discussed and arranged tasks for next year.

Recent years have seen huge progress and improved public confidence in the campaign to strictly govern the Party and fight corruption, the statement said.

“The battle against corruption has gained crushing momentum,” it said. The Party has been successful in building institutions for its strict governance, helping to address the symptoms and root causes of problems, it said, adding that “fastening the institutional cage” was not an empty slogan.

The statement stressed keeping a “high-voltage” crackdown to stem undesirable work styles and corruption in 2017, calling for improved intra-Party political life, increased intra-Party supervision and deeper reform of the national supervisory system to cleanse the Party’s political ecosystem.

Attendees called for pushing forward supervisory system reform, as well as ensuring reform targets are met on schedule.

Discipline inspection agencies at all levels are urged to integrate self-supervision with Party supervision, democratic supervision, and supervision by the people and the press, the statement said.
