CPC's anti-graft drive, a warning against self-willed power(2)

These moves constitute a basic foundation to ensure government officials dare not be corrupt. The powerful are being forced to think about the aftermath of "being wayward" amid CPC's anti-graft drive which leaves no untouched spot.

Fighting corruption is a world conundrum. With its intensive efforts and extensive scope, the ongoing anti-graft fight initiated by CPC has offered salutary experience for the international community.

The CPC, however, soberly realizes that the fight against corruption remains complex and grave.

Under the temptation of huge interests in the transitioning China, some officials may take chances anyway despite warnings and regulations. Flaws in laws and bad habits in officials circles could all lead to a relapse.

Therefore, the CPC stresses the long-term effect and offers a mechanism to wean its officials away from corruption.

While ferreting out high-ranking corrupt officials, the CPC also strives to improve the political ecology by affirming power in accordance with law, assigning power scientifically, and putting the use of power under supervision.

A comprehensive legal reform plan, adopted at a key Party session in late October, pledged to advance the rule of law, urging lawmakers to speed up legislation work involving anti-corruption issues.

It's foreseeable that the CPC will continue to strike hard against corruption and promote anti-graft legislation next year.

Only by restraining all kinds of power in "the cage of regulations", can citizen's rights be safeguarded.

In the fight against corruption which is described as a threat to the country and the Party's very survival, the self-willed power will finally be replaced by a power in the cage as the CPC eyes a cure instead of a palliative as the ultimate goal.
