Deputies of the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have called for the faster introduction of anti-corruption legislation to tackle the problem at the roots.
Many officials in Sichuan were arrested on corruption charges in 2014. As a businessman in Sichuan, I know them, of course, but I didn't do anything I shouldn't have, and neither did my colleagues.

I have had a high salary for many years. I have a house and a car. I could survive even if I was not paid for two years.
