New CPC procedure fine-tunes oversight

The Communist Party of China has issued a revised regulation on inspection in a renewed effort to improve supervision and governance of its more than 89 million members.

Shifting its focus from fighting corruption and Party rule violations in the initial rounds of inspections, the amendment released on Friday made political inspection more prominent on the supervision agenda.

The revised rules clearly stipulate that "political inspection should be deepened, and inspections should mainly focus on upholding the Party leadership, improving Party building, and advancing comprehensive and strict rule of the Party".
