CPC embraces 92nd anniversary with stricter discipline(3)

STRICTER DISCIPLINES

Corruption remains one of the hardest nuts to crack. Undesirable work styles, such as formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance, are also alienating the Party from the people, robbing the CPC of its foundation among the people.

On the eve of the CPC's 92nd anniversary, Xi told a meeting on the work of CPC personnel resources that intra-Party management and rules can never be slackened, as the CPC is an 85 million-member political organization that has ruled a country of 1.3 billion for so long.

He urged strict education, management and supervision within the Party, ensuring that every Party official understands that holding his or her post means he or she must work harder and accept stricter disciplines.

About 2,290 people have been punished for violating rules set roughly six months ago to fight bureaucracy and formalism, according to the latest figure available.

To set examples for the entire Party in the fight against undesirable work styles, top CPC leaders relayed criticisms and self-criticisms during a high-profile meeting last week.

Political Bureau members should be strict with themselves and be self-starters, said a statement issued after the conference of the 25-member Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
