The CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee called for fundamental improvement of CPC political ecosystem during a meeting held Thursday morning to study and implement the spirits of the second plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC.
Lou Qinjian, secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, delivered a speech at the meeting and made requirements for the study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches concerning party governance and anti-graft campaign.
Xi Jinping called for more anti-corruption efforts to "fundamentally improve the political ecosystem of the Party".
Participants in the session discussed deepening reform of the national supervision system, which will centralize power to fight corruption and be crucial for China's future anti-graft deployment.
In the report delivered to the 19th CPC National Congress in October, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said new supervision commissions would be established across the country at various levels to provide a full inspection of public servants.
In early November, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the top legislature, also decided to submit the draft supervision law to the next NPC plenary session, which is expected in early March.
Since late November 2012, when Xi became the top leader of the Party and the military, anti-corruption has become a top priority across the country to fight both "tigers and flies", referring to high-ranking officials and low-ranking ones.
According to the CCDI, 159,100 people were punished for graft or discipline violations last year. Between January and November, 61,000 officials were punished for violating the Party's eight-point frugality code involving 43,400 cases, CCDI figures show.
The Political Bureau meeting on Dec 27 last year made clear that "anti-corruption work will be carried through to the end without any halt halfway", according to a statement released after the meeting.
The plenary session will further consolidate China's anti-corruption efforts and push forward the reform of the supervisory system, experts said.
