A chief discipline inspector of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) on Tuesday called for strengthened efforts in the
construction of a clean Party and clean governments to boost social
harmony and stability.
Wu Guanzheng, secretary of the CPC Central
Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the calls at a panel
discussion of a group of lawmakers from eastern Shandong Province
who are in Beijing attending the annual full session of the
National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature.
Wu and the lawmakers discussed the government work report
delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the opening meeting of the NPC
session on Monday.
Wu, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of
the CPC Central Committee, gave consent to Premier Wen's call to
combat corruption in his report.
An upright cadre team, which can win support from the masses,
can help lay a sound foundation for social harmony and stability,
said Wu.
Wu urged officials to cultivate a correct conception of power,
be self-disciplined and be open to supervision.
He also urged discipline inspection organs to "seriously
investigate and deal with major cases and focus their work on those
issues that people are most concerned".
