Time to target grassroots corruption
No one is immune to disciplinary investigation, and that includes the deputies of the people's congresses at all levels, said Fu Ying, spokeswoman for the fourth session of the 12th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, at a news conference on Friday.
Just an hour before the briefing, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, the country's top anti-graft watchdog, announced the investigation of Wang Min, former Party chief of Northeast China's Liaoning province, for suspected serious violations of Party discipline.
Corruption in local governments has dealt a heavy blow to the image of the Communist Party of China, and also harmed people's legitimate interests. It thus calls for more concerted efforts to prevent abuse of power at all levels.
