He Guoqiang, the top disciplinary official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), urged inspectors to intensify their anti-corruption drive under the guidance of the spirit of the 17th CPC National Congress.

He, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), spoke during an inspection tour of east China's Shandong province during November 15-19.

To guarantee the implementation of major policy decisions and strategic arrangements made at the congress, all discipline inspectors must step up efforts to enhance their capacity to fight corruption and uphold integrity, He said.

He, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said the anti-corruption drive must be flexible enough to cope with new situations and solve new problems.

He urged discipline inspection departments to intensify investigation and research.

While resolutely fighting corruption, commissions for discipline inspection at all levels must work harder to remove its root cause, take preventive measures, and improve relevant systems, He stressed.

During his inspection tour of Shandong, He visited villages, firms, communities and colleges.
