Beijing : In an effort to intensify its anti-corruption campaign, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has warned that cadres who seek to misuse their office for financial gains on the stock market will be sternly dealt with.
In a communique released Wednesday at the end of a three-day plenary session of CPC, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) also warned officials against accepting or giving gratifications in the form of gifts.
The crackdown on corruption in 2008 will also focus on officials who seek to profit from involvement in construction bids, land sales, trading of property rights and government procurement, a communique said.
Supervision and inspection will be launched to ensure all the decisions and policies made at the 17th CPC National Congress and the scientific outlook of development are carefully implemented.
Officials at various levels who fail to implement orders from government or disregard bans ordered by government, will be asked to rectify, so as to ensure implementation of CPC Central Committee’s various policy decisions on price control, market regulations, conservation, land management and the like.
The communiqué said anti-corruption institutional reform will be deepened, intra-Party supervision will be strengthened and supervision over leading officials, especially major leading officials, will be further tightened.
