Senior Chinese Communist Party leader He Yong has underscored the importance of fighting against corruption in ensuring China's sound economic development.
He Yong, deputy secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), made the remarks when he informed CCDI's officials of the just-concluded 2007 Central Economic Work Conference here on Friday.
The official asked discipline inspectors to better incorporate anti-corruption into the country's economic works by earnestly studying the essence of both the central economic work conference and the 17th CPC national congress.
China concluded its three-day 2007 Central Economic Work Conference on Wednesday with a pledge to shift its monetary policy from "prudent", an approach it has followed for the last ten years, to "tight."
The conference said that with a prudent fiscal policy and a tight monetary policy, China will be able to achieve "the Two Prevents" in the coming year: to prevent economic growth developing from rapid to overheating, and to prevent price rises evolving from structural to evident inflation.
Centering on the government's major policies including enhancing macro-economic control and reforming the administrative system, central and local discipline inspection commissions should strengthen supervision and inspection so as to promote sound and rapid development of China's economy, He Yong ordered.
China has intensified its crackdown on commercial bribery in infrastructure and real estate projects this year.
In the first 10 months, procuratorates across China have investigated 4,240 bribery cases in infrastructure and real estate projects, accounting for 48.4 percent of the total commercial bribery cases, figures released by the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPS) show.
The cases involved a total of 657 million yuan (87.6 million U.S. dollars), and most of the bribery cases involved the sacking of officials and those in charge of city planning, land management or utility administrations.
To date, prosecutors had taken 1,613 government officials to court and 597 were officials at or above county levels, the SPS said.
