Wu Guanzheng, a senior leader of the Communist
Party of China (CPC), called for strict party discipline and
advancing the anti-corruption drive during an inspection tour of
central China's Hunan Province.
"A clean, upright and united team of cadres is an important
basis for social harmony and stability," said Wu, a member of the
Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central
Committee, during the tour from April 8 to 12.
Wu, who is also secretary of the CPC Central Commission for
Discipline Inspection, chatted with cadres and villagers during a
trip to the countryside to learn about party-building at grassroots
and transparency of village affairs.
He also visited enterprises, a government service center and a
hospital.
Wu stressed strictly enforcement of party discipline to ensure
orders were carried out smoothly and to continue implementation of
the "scientific concept of development".
He said this year and next would see the expiration of terms of
regional CPC committees and new elections. Leaders should abide by
the results and the rules in appointing officials.
