For the past five years, the battle against corruption has been a top priority, with disciplinary watchdogs at all levels investigating and apprehending rogue Party officials. Since the campaign was launched by President Xi Jinping in 2012, more than 280 officials at the ministerial and provincial levels, or higher, have been investigated over allegations of serious violations of Party discipline, a common euphemism for corruption. They include several powerful tigers, such as former national security chief Zhou Yongkang and Su Rong, former vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. No matter what their levels, officials involved in corruption will stand trial and receive judgment according to the law, said Yang Xiaodu, minister of supervision and deputy director of the Communist Party of China's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the top anti-graft watchdog. Tighter supervision The CCDI said it has developed effective procedures to tighten supervision within the CPC to ensure that members follow the rules, eliminate graft at the roots and tackle an issue that has a bearing on the future of both the Party and the nation. During Xi's first term in office, the commission carried out 12 rounds of inspection into 277 Party organizations and bodies, achieving a full inspection of all Party organs. The inspections acted as a sharp sword for supervision within the Party, leading to more than 60 percent of the valuable clues we received about potential corruption, said Li Wanjun, a bureau-level inspector with the CCDI's central inspection team. Official data shows that from late 2012 to the end of August more than 240,000 officials nationwide were accused of breaching the Party's frugality code. The commission has released a list of 167 typical offenses on its website. One example occurred between 2014 and 2016, when Kong Lingbin, deputy director of the environmental protection bureau of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, violated Party rules and accepted gifts and cash from subordinates valued at 50,000 yuan, ($7,630) as well as a refueling card for his car worth 5,000 yuan. Kong was given a serious warning by the CPC and his illicit gains were confiscated. Meanwhile, in February last year, Ai Geqing, a senior official at the public security bureau in Baoshan, Yunnan province, broke Party rules by accepting gifts and cash worth 29,530 yuan from 56 people. She received the same punishment as Kong. coloured wristbandsthe wristband factoryprinted wristbandscheap silicone wristbandssilicone fidget spinnerjordan wristband rubbercustom rubber wristbands
Seven-episode CCTV special focused on governance A political documentary focusing on the Communist Party of China's people-centered governance received positive feedback from the public soon after it aired nationwide. One episode a day was released of the seven-episode documentary Stay True to the Mission and Keep Moving Forward on China Central Television and the series finished on Wednesday. The title came from early July, when General Secretary Xi Jinping called on the Party's membership of more than 89 million to "stay true to the mission and keep moving forward". The documentary focuses on the progress made by the CPC in the past five years to build socialism with Chinese characteristics, serve the people, boost reform, build a strong military, fight corruption and enhance international cooperation. The documentary said that it was the choice of history and the people in October last year to "identify Xi Jinping as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party". It said that under the firm leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi as the core, China will definitely have great success in the process of fulfilling the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The documentary was among a number of political productions broadcast by CCTV in the past two months featuring the Party's achievements over five years in such areas as deepening reform, boosting clean governance and practicing major-country diplomacy. The public provided positive feedback on the documentary, and many people expressed confidence and optimism in the future of the country with the approach of the Party's 19th National Congress, which begins on Wednesday. Gao Chao, a civil servant in Jinan, Shandong province, said that the clean-governance measures of the past five years have benefited the people and won their trust in the Party and government. "We have deep feelings about the Party's strong measures in cutting bureaucratic red tape," he said, adding that the anti-corruption campaign is not a "momentary breeze" but a case of long-term perseverance. Fan Bo, a businessman in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, said that the government's reforms in streamlining administrative procedures have made it easier for businesspeople like him to work. "I no longer have to travel for miles to visit different government departments for registration, taxation and pension issues because all of the departments have set their service outlets at the city's public administration center," he said. Xiao Yongle, a writer, said on his Sina Weibo social media account that the Belt and Road Initiative, put forward by Xi in 2013, has offered China's solutions to the world. "We need to enlarge opening-up and boost international win-win cooperation to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation," he said.
