The Party has 'no room for cliques'

Anti-graft fight called popular with public, but major challenges lie ahead

There is no room for cliques and factions within the Communist Party of China, top leaders said on Monday as they pledged to persist in the fight against corruption.

The Party has used determination and heavy measures in the past year to push forward the crackdown on corruption and the building of clean governance, according to a statement issued after a meeting of highest-ranking officials that was presided over by President Xi Jinping. This has already achieved much and won approval from the public, the statement said.
