BEIJING - The country's anti-corruption campaign will take aim this year at leading officials suspected of graft, dereliction of duty and abuse of power, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Sunday during his online chat with netizens.
He said the battle against graft will be "a primary task" for the government and added that China wants to build a system that gives the public more of a supervisory role.
Wen made the remarks after he was asked about the recent removal of Liu Zhijun, the former minister of railways, for an alleged "severe violation of discipline".
