Description:
This book provides an overview of the new measures the government has put in place since at the 18th National Congress of CPC to combat corruption and other changes in this area. These measures and changes cover such issues as the strict enforcement of disciplinary rules, prevention of the abuse of power by public officials, better management of public finance, the diversification and integration of supervision and monitoring, and “targeting both the tigers and flies”. The contributors propose that the key to addressing both the symptoms and the root causes effectively lies in the scope of China’s general anti-corruption strategy on one hand and the rigor of anti-corruption actions on the other. Establishing long-term mechanisms to eliminate the “four types of misconduct”, namely, "superficiality, bureaucracy, hedonism and profligacy" must be put on the government’s agenda. Priority must be given to regulating the practice of exchanging gifts to prevent conflicts of interests. The power of the web as a way to combat corruption should be recognized but also kept within legal constraints. All cases of corruption are to be taken equally seriously no matter who or how much money is involved. The stance of zero tolerance for corruption must be maintained. Tackling the problem of corruption at its roots and comprehensive deepening of reform go hand-in-hand.
