China's top corruption fighter called for strict administration of the Communist Party of China CPC) and efficient measures to tighten supervision in a bid to further promote the building of a clean government and good Party style and eradicate corruption.

Wei Jianxing, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee Standing Committee and secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made this call today when attending a group discussion of Heilongjiang deputies to the Ninth National People's Congress, in session here since Sunday.

Leading Party officials should first of all strictly abide by political disciplines, Wei said, adding that it is a question of education and graft prevention for the majority of Party members and officials, while for a handful of corrupt officials it means severe punishment, with nowhere left for them to hide.

Two lines of defense should be erected, he said, referring to a high ethical standard-Party disciplines and state laws. Leading officials should tighten controls over their subordinates, spouses and other family members.

Supervision should follow wherever officials go in an effort to timely expose and deal with corruption cases or any violation of law, Wei said, pointing to behind-the-scenes transactions.

Strict administration should begin with strict discipline, and severe punishment should be meted out to whoever dares to defy Party disciplines and state laws, Wei said, warning that " peacemaking and philistinism" are prevailing within the Party.

Measures must be taken to show the Party's determination in rooting out corruption in a bid to win back people's trust, he said.
