Institutionalizing the anti-graft drive

China's top leader Xi Jinping has highlighted the importance of the rule of law in the campaign against corruption, meaning that a shift from the top-down, mass movement anti-corruption efforts to institutionalized anti-corruption according to the law is in the making.

To regulate the anti-corruption work, the "top level design" will play a greater role in forging a transparent and just mechanism that supervises the use of public power.

This anti-corruption mechanism will focus on rooting out tolerance toward corruption and selective enforcement. In other words, all corruption-related cases, big or small, will be investigated in accordance with the law. Neither the "tigers", senior officials, nor the "flies", junior officials, will be allowed to get away with any misdeeds.
