'Thorough cleanup' of undesirable styles

Party members urged to adopt 'mass line' to improve their ties with public

Xi Jinping, leader of the Communist Party of China, said Tuesday that the CPC's upcoming year-long campaign will be a "thorough cleanup" of undesirable work styles such as formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance.

"The main task of the campaign focuses on building work styles," Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said at a high-profile teleconference held to launch the campaign.
