CPC steps up efforts to supervise, admonish its officials

The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has set up a mechanism of supervision based on admonishment as an intensified step to keep its officials upright, honest and incorruptible.

The General Office of the CPC Central Committee issued a notice Sunday calling for full implementation of the supervision and admonishment rules governing officials' honest and clean handling of the affairs, which was jointly worked out by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

According to the supervisory rules, CPC officials who fail to strictly implement the political disciplines, carry out the Party's various policies and decisions as well as those who are arbitrary in work style or corrupt, will be admonished.

According to the rules, admonishment talks will be held with those who have problems of various kinds which are strictly prohibited by the Central Commission for Disciplines Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Officials demanded in admonishment talks will be allowed to explain themselves and those who are confirmed to violate the Party's disciplines will be punished.

Under the rules, the admonitor should listen carefully to the offenders' explanation and pointed out their problems as well as the ways to correct them.

The move is aimed at strengthening the routine supervision and education on the CPC officials of various levels, the notice said.
