Self-reporting not enough

'Naked officials" are generally put under control; but the key problem lies in "naked power", which lacks supervision and runs at the will of officials. It is necessary and urgent to introduce the rule of law and shut naked power in a cage, so that wherever their family members are, officials are no longer able to misuse their power in hand.

Some officials oppose the move of shifting naked officials to unimportant positions, claiming officials' children have the right to study abroad, too. That sounds reasonable, but the fact is, naked officials tend to fall more easily into corruption because family members overseas can easily transfer illicit money abroad; there are too many cases of corrupt officials sending family members abroad and then fleeing.
