In order to enable party organizations at all levels and party members and cadres to better learn, understand, and implement the Plan, the relevant person in charge of the Central Anti Corruption Coordination Group Office recently answered questions from reporters regarding the Plan.

Q: Please introduce the background and significance of the implementation of the Plan.

At the same time, it must be soberly recognized that comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the Party's self revolution is always on the way. The situation in the fight against corruption remains severe and complex, and the soil and conditions for corruption have not been completely eradicated. New types of corruption and hidden corruption are undergoing various renovations, and the task of curbing the increment and clearing the stock remains arduous. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made arrangements to resolutely win the protracted battle against corruption, calling for a zero tolerance attitude towards anti-corruption and punishing evil.

In accordance with the deployment requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Anti Corruption Coordination Group closely follows the main line of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Based on in-depth research and extensive solicitation of opinions, it has studied and drafted the "Plan" to refine and implement the anti-corruption tasks deployed by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and clarify the guiding ideology, basic principles, target tasks, and key work of anti-corruption organization and coordination work in the next five years. The Plan consolidates consensus from all aspects, mobilizes positive factors from all aspects, improves the system and mechanism of anti-corruption work, transforms the political, organizational, and institutional advantages of the Party into the effectiveness of corruption governance, and provides support and guarantee for continuous and in-depth promotion of the anti-corruption struggle.

Q: What is the clear guiding ideology for the next five years of work in the Plan?

The key to accurately understanding and grasping this guiding ideology requirement is to deepen the regular understanding of the achievements in the anti-corruption struggle since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. A profound understanding of a strong leadership core is the fundamental guarantee for the continuous transition from victory to victory in the fight against corruption.A profound understanding of the Party's innovative theory is the key to achieving greater victories in the fight against corruption.

Q: The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has put forward new requirements for serious investigation and punishment of corruption. How does the Plan reflect and implement this deployment?

Answer: The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China profoundly pointed out that corruption is the biggest cancer that endangers the vitality and combat effectiveness of the Party, and anti-corruption is the most thorough self revolution. As long as there is soil and conditions for the emergence of corruption, the fight against corruption cannot stop for a moment and must always be sounded with a charge. We must persist in promoting the integration of not daring to corrupt, not wanting to corrupt, and not wanting to corrupt, while simultaneously making efforts, working together, and comprehensively. To combat corruption and punish evil with a zero tolerance attitude, to more effectively curb the increase and eliminate the stock.

The Plan sets a benchmark against the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the requirements of the Party Central Committee's deployment, and makes arrangements to severely punish corruption with a zero tolerance attitude. It focuses on key issues, targets, and areas, and adheres to a strict tone, measures, and atmosphere for a long time. Clearly define the ideas and measures to curb growth and eliminate existing stocks, with a focus on cracking down on corrupt individuals who do not converge, do not stop, and act recklessly, in order to more effectively curb growth and implement classified measures to eliminate existing stocks. We will continue to focus on the "Seven Haves" issue, resolutely eliminate the "two faced individuals" who have degenerated politically and are disloyal and dishonest to the Party, resolutely rectify the "low-level red" and "high-level black", and resolutely eradicate political gangs that form cliques and engage in private activities. Strictly investigate key issues, resolutely crack down on corruption intertwined with political and economic issues, resolutely prevent leading cadres from becoming spokespersons and agents of interest groups and power groups, and resolutely prevent political and business collusion, capital infiltration into the political field, and other damages to the political ecology and economic development environment. Pay close attention to key targets, seriously investigate and punish the spouses, children, and their spouses of leading cadres, as well as their relatives and staff members who use their influence for personal gain and corruption, and increase the punishment for "political fraudsters" and political brokers. Highlight key areas, resolutely clean up industry, systemic, and regional corruption with high risks and hidden dangers, deepen the rectification of corruption in areas such as finance, state-owned enterprises, political and legal power concentration, capital intensity, and resource enrichment, as well as in areas such as food procurement and sales, higher education, sports, and medicine, effectively prevent and resolve corruption risks and related economic and social risks. Promote the extension of anti-corruption to the grassroots level, focusing on areas such as employment and entrepreneurship, education and medical care, elderly care and social security, ecological environmental protection, safety production, food and drug safety, law enforcement and justice, and seriously investigate and punish behaviors such as embezzlement, interception and misappropriation, false reporting and claiming, and taking bribes. Increase efforts to rectify "village bullies," "street bullies," and "mining bullies" found in corruption cases, and effectively enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the people. The Plan coordinates the fight against corruption on both international and domestic battlefields, deploys to deepen international cooperation against corruption, and clarifies the goals and tasks of building an integrated mechanism for tracing and preventing fugitives, as well as increasing cross-border corruption governance efforts.

To effectively implement the goals and tasks of the Plan, it is necessary to unify our thinking with the judgment and requirements of the Party Central Committee, deeply understand the political harm of corruption, deeply understand the long-term, complex, and arduous nature of the anti-corruption struggle, and always maintain zero tolerance and deterrence, with a constant force of high-pressure punishment. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made bold and decisive efforts to advance the fight against corruption. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it remained steadfast and steady, while after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it continued to exert efforts and deepen its efforts. The overwhelming victory in the fight against corruption continued to consolidate and deepen. At the same time, from the investigation and handling of corruption cases, it can be seen that the stock has not yet bottomed out and the increment is still occurring, exposing various problems. We must always fight against corruption with the most thorough spirit of self revolution, resolutely overcome the emotions of complacency, relaxation, fatigue, and war weariness, prevent the mentality of achieving success in one battle, maintain the resilience and persistence of anti-corruption always on the road, never relax the hand of punishment, continue to pressure on not daring to corrupt, deepen and expand on not being able to corrupt, consolidate and improve on not wanting to corrupt, persist in investigating and punishing what problems are prominent, and focus on where work is weak. We should use key breakthroughs to drive the overall progress, continuously expand the depth and breadth of the anti-corruption struggle, gradually reduce recurring old problems until they are not committed, and make it difficult for some new problems to spread.
