New regulation a powerful tool to strengthen Party's governance

THE POLITICAL BUREAU OF the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed a regulation on Tuesday, according to which Party officials that fail in their duties will be held accountable. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

The regulation echoes a bulletin issued after a plenum of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Party's top anti-graft watchdog, earlier this year. The bulletin said that those who fail in their duty should be held accountable.

Actually, months before this regulation was passed, leaders and related departments had already been soliciting opinions at conferences to ensure the regulation will meet the demands of the anti-graft campaign.
