Party watchdog's openness is helpful to anti-graft campaign

THE CENTRAL COMMISSION FOR DISCIPLINE INSPECTION, China's top anti-graft agency, held a news conference on Friday, which aroused much attention as it frankly answered some sensitive questions. Transparency is prerequisite in the anti-graft campaign, says The Beijing News:

Unlike some official bodies that avoid being open and talking about sensitive issues, the CCDI showed the utmost sincerity in its news conference on Friday, the first of its kind this year. Even after the adjournment of the meeting, it accepted interviews.

That's an innovative step towards governing transparency. Actually, such transparency will prevent rumors from spreading.
