China Vows to Intensify Anti-Corruption Drive

China will continue to intensify its anti-corruption campaign through the prevention and control of the source of corruption, Minister of Supervision He Yong said.

The official made the remarks at a national work conference hosted recently in Beijing and Wuhan.

"With an eye to China's reform, development and stability, the central government has proposed a series of policies and measures to prevent and control corruption at its source in recent years, strongly promoting the country's anti-corruption campaign," he said. "Related departments have fully implemented the policies to strengthen fighting corruption at the source and have made remarkable achievements."

He said the nationwide anti-corruption struggle should focus on restriction of power, supervision of funds, behavior criterion and strict management.

He called for local anti-corruption departments to make more efforts in rooting out major corruption cases for the rest of the year.

He called for enhanced efforts to battle corruption from the source, according to the principles of Party discipline inspection and supervision.

Related departments at all levels are also urged to intensify supervision and severely deal with people responsible for major violations.
