Wei Jianxing Vows to Deepen Anti-corruption DriveWei Jianxing, China's top official in charge of disciplinary work, has pledged to deepen the current anti-corruption campaign by instituting structural reforms meant to wipe out corruption at the source.Wei, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remark during his inspection tour of Shenzhen and several other cities in southern Guangdong Province from April 13-24. To prevent abuse of power at the source has been the fundamental measure to prevent and control corruption, Wei said. Shenzhen has heralded a series of reforms including open-bidding for land-use rights, setting-up of property markets, and experimenting with government procurement in an effort to build a clean government, according to the official. He condemned some leading officials for misusing their administrative powers and taking huge bribes, adding that some loopholes in the system have been used by these corrupt officials to make their own profits. Wei proposed that supervision should be increased over projects which have to be examined and approved by administrative departments. |
