A Communist Party of China (CPC) authority has told the country's officials to take lessons from the corruption cases of senior officials such as Zhou Yongkang and Ling Jihua.

In a circular issued by the organization department of the CPC Central Committee published on Monday, the authority said cases of corrupt officials, including Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Xu Caihou, Ling Jihua and Su Rong, should be taken as "typical negative examples" to educate Party members and cadres.

It also called on officials to analyze the moral cause of violations, which it described as "politically deteriorated, greedy, morally lapsed and decayed."

The circular urged careful study and profound reflection on the violations as part of the campaign to promote the "three stricts and three earnests," a series of requirements for officials to improve their lifestyles and work, in order to warn CPC members and officials to observe the Party's political rules and regulations.

The document demanded efforts to organize study among officials, especially those above the county level, so they fully understand the importance of the Party's efforts to purify itself and uphold its code of conduct.

It called on Party members to learn from the cases, and obey the Party's rules and the country's laws.

It said Party members and officials should reflect on their conduct and correct their own problems.

It also demanded Party members be faithful to the Party, stand firm to resist temptation and remain strict and honest in their work and lives. Endi
