The measure is part of the party's anti-graft plan for the New Year as outlined in a report delivered by the party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in a meeting on Dec. 31, according to the Global Times, an affiliate of the People's Daily. The meeting was presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the party's Central Committee.
A statement issued after the meeting said “the fight against corruption is still arduous under the new circumstances, and a small number of party members have a weak sense of responsibility,” apparently referring to formalism, bureaucratism and extravagance among some officials‘ work style, the newspaper said.
The statement urged the party to exert more efforts to handle corruption and prevent corruptive behaviors from spreading, it said.
