Senior official Wu Guanzheng has called on newly-appointed
discipline inspection officials to be loyal to their work and
persevere in the fight against corruption.
Part of the work of the Communist Party of China (CPC),
discipline inspection must promote the development and stability of
the country, said Wu, Secretary of the Central Commission for
Discipline Inspection of the CPC.
Officials must urge Party members and Party committees at all
levels to abide by the CPC's regulations, and firmly punish and
prevent corruption, he told a meeting on Wednesday.
An improved, comprehensive anti-corruption system needs to be
established, which is able to detect and punish corrupt officials
as well as prevent corruption through education, regulation and
supervision, said Wu.
"We must fight corruption in all fields -- the economy,
politics, culture, and social and Party building," he said.
He urged officials to strengthen leadership and administration
of discipline inspection teams, and get ready for supervision by
the Party and the people.
The Seventh Plenary Session of the Central Commission for
Discipline Inspection of the CPC ended on Wednesday. It reviewed
the work of the past year and outlined the anti-corruption and
Party building work for 2007.
At the session, the CPC warned that cadres who gamble and get
involved in illegal property deals will be the focus of an
intensified crackdown on corruption.
A communique released Wednesday also warned against embezzlement
and fraud in the management of state-owned enterprises.
