A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Friday defended the country's anti-corruption campaign, saying it is groundless to contend that corruption cases increases with the development of the campaign.

Most of the major corruption cases took place before 1998, said Wei Jianxing, a member of the Standing Committee of Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, while joining a group meeting of lawmakers from northeast China's Heilongjiang Province who are here attending the annual session of the National People's Congress.

The number of corruption cases handled by the authorities peaked in the period of 1993-98 and has kept decreasing since then, according to the head of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Surveys in many areas indicate that people are getting more and more satisfied with the nationwide anti-corruption drive, he noted.

Wei hailed the achievements in combating the rampant corruption since a series of policies and programs were launched after the 15th CPC Congress in 1997. A number of corrupt officials including provincial-level officials, have been punished according law, he added. Wei called for creative work to further promote the anti-corruption campaign for new achievements.
