China's anti-corruption chief He Guoqiang has urged cadres of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to refrain from abusing their authority for illicit gain and to win public trust through clean governance.
He, head of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the remarks in an article to be published Tuesday in Qiushi, or Seeking Truth, the official magazine of the CPC Central Committee.
Party leaders should strictly abide by the code of ethics for CPC cadres issued in January, another important regulation to ensure clean practice in Party cadres' work and prevent corruption, said He, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.
Efforts should be intensified to tackle corruption-related problems, such as cadres using their power for illicit gains, privately engaging in profit-making activities, meddling in economic activities and using their influence to seek benefits for relatives, He said.
The CPC Central Committee issued the guideline specifying 52 unacceptable practices with respect to CPC leaders and cadres, including accepting cash or financial instruments as gifts, and using their influence to benefit their spouses, children or "special concerned persons" with regards to their employment, stock trading or business.
