China's Communist Party (CPC) is doubling down on its anti-corruption campaign, calling it a 'protracted war' requiring unshakable confidence. The pledge came during a high-profile meeting of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) in Beijing, attended by top leaders including General Secretary Xi Jinping.
🔍 Key Focus Areas
In 2024, authorities targeted 'hedonism' and wasteful spending while exposing hidden corruption in finance, energy, and sports sectors. Over 68 government departments underwent scrutiny, with officials now facing stricter rules about family members' business activities.
📈 2025 Goals Unveiled
The CCDI's new blueprint vows to:
- Combat 'covert' bureaucracy and extravagant practices
- Protect market fairness and reduce burdens on local communities
- Use AI-powered inspections to spot emerging corruption patterns
'The situation remains grave,' the communique warned, signaling no let-up in the decade-long crackdown that's become central to China's governance reforms.
