A Sweeping Victory in the Fight Against Corruption

Corruption is what the people resent most; and it is the greatest threat to our Party. Fighting corruption requires resolve and perseverance, and it should be an on-going process with no end point. Not only should we confront corruption’s symptoms, we must also tackle its root causes. Only by promoting integrity and ethical conduct among officials and building a clean government and a clean political environment, can we break the cycle of corruption and ensure long-term stability of our Party and our country.

As stated in the report to the 19th CPC National Congress, the fight against corruption remains an uphill battle, and we must not waver in our resolve to build on the overwhelming momentum and secure a sweeping victory. This fight knows no bounds, and will leave no ground uncovered and show no mercy. Effective constraints, tough measures and long-term deterrence are essential in this connection, in order to target both those who take bribes and those who offer them, and prevent the emergence of special interests within the Party.

Regular disciplinary inspections will be undertaken by Party committees at the municipal or county level in an intensified effort to address corruption that occurs on the doorstep of local residents. Wherever offenders flee, they will be brought back to justice. A national anti-corruption bill is under consideration, and a corruption reporting platform is being developed to allow cases to be reported to both disciplinary inspection commissions and oversight agencies.

Deterrence against corruption will be strengthened, and the institutional cage fortified, to provide a shield against corruption temptation, and help create a political environment as clean as a pristine river.
