The discipline watchdog of the Communist Party of China says "the task of anti-corruption remains arduous," and there should be new anti-graft achievements ahead of the Party's 18th National Congress.
A communique released yesterday at the end of a three-day session of the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said China's fight against corruption comes while the international environment is severe and complicated, and with the domestic economic system and social structure undergoing significant changes.
The war on corruption had scored evident achievements, but problems still existed, it said.
People's higher expectations of anti-corruption achievements coexisted with the fact that corruption could not be eradicated in the short term, it said.
The plenary session of the Party's discipline watchdog stressed that to improve anti-corruption work was of great significance in 2012, the year of the 18th National Congress of the Party.
Organizational discipline will be highlighted amid the elections of Party committees at various levels, and the whole process of election and promotion of officials shall be put under scrutiny, the communique said. It also vowed strict inspection on the implementation of key policies introduced from central level, especially involving economic development.
Meanwhile, bad practices infringing the people's interests must be corrected, the communique said, urging efforts to improve the work style of the Party and forge closer relations between Party officials and the people.
"The harmful trends in a few Party officials, of divorcing themselves from the masses, being overbearing and having a very serious 'special privilege' mentality, must be rectified," the communique said. Cases arising from construction projects, property development, land management and mining, and those concerning insider trading and connected transactions will be handled in a serious manner.
Efforts will also be made to tap the positive role of new media, including the Internet, in facilitating China's anti-corruption drive, the communique said.
According to the commission, a total of 4,843 Party officials above county head level were punished for discipline violations in 2011, of whom 777 have been handed over for prosecution.
