The Communist Party of China (CPC) will continue its fight against officials' undesirable work styles, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Chen Cungen, deputy chief of the State Organs Work Committee of the CPC, made the remarks at a conference on discipline inspection among central government departments.
The anti-graft inspection will continue to focus on supervision of key departments in charge of central finance and administrative approvals, and strengthen checks on grassroots level government units, Chen said.
He praised the anti-graft campaign, saying government public spending has dropped by 35 percent from the previous year.
The deputy chief stressed the importance of uncovering officials' misconduct and enforcing punishments, as resistance had emerged during inspections.
Using public money for feasts has shifted from restaurants to less noticeable places. Also, officials accept bribery in a more secretive manner, according to Chen.
He said officials were still not aware of the harm caused by bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance, with some complaining after inspection teams had left.
Some officials were not taking their responsibilities to carry out internal anti-graft inspections even when they promised to do so.
Chen warned the Party must guard against the resurgence of corruption in subtle forms.
All central departments should enhance supervision and improve systems and regulations to unite all forces against corruption, he noted.
The endeavor to improve work styles will be always ongoing, Chen added.
