Speaking at a press conference, Li Jingtian, deputy head of the CPC Central Committee's Organization Department, also briefed media about the education campaign to preserve the advanced nature of Party members, which started at the beginning of this year. "We will educate unqualified Party members in an effort to make them better. If they don't improve, we will punish them according to the Party constitution," he said. Li also denied rumors that thousands have renounced their Party membership in recent months. He rejected reports posted on foreign Websites, depicting the claims as "false rumors spread by people with ulterior motives."
