A senior Chinese official has called for increasing the political sense on the issue of fighting corruption and accomplishing various anti-corruption tasks the central leadership has assigned.
Wei Jianxing, a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau, made the call in a study tour in Chongqing Municipality, southwest China, on February 20-26.
During his stay, Wei met with local officials in charge of discipline and trade unions and visited some local families relocated due to the Three Gorges Dam Project.
Wei, who is also secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and president of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, urged all Party officials to seriously study the speech on the building of a ruling party by CPC General Secretary Jiang Zemin at a recent meeting of the CCDI.
Under the Party Central Committee, with Jiang at the core, the anti-corruption drive will be constantly carried out to curb the rampant corruptive phenomena and minimize the impacts of corruption, according to Wei.
To deal with corruption from the root, greater efforts must be made on ideological education and reform the administrative, financial and personnel systems, he said.
