Graft fight crucial to road map

Soundbites:
Special supervisors who were invited to attend the annual session of China's top discipline watchdog shared their views on disciplinary inspection.
The watchdog started to invite special supervisors to attend its plenary session last year as a form of external supervision. The supervisors come from different sectors, including the staff of central and State departments, cadres at the grassroots level, experts from universities and research institutions and media representatives. They oversee the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs and make suggestions.
Wang Xin, head of the research bureau of the People's Bank of China
A number of officials from financial institutions were investigated for violations of discipline and law last year, reflecting the central leadership's firm determination to crack down on corruption in the financial sector.
Su Guoxia, a senior official of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development
In recent years, the country has invested much in poverty alleviation, so there are a large number of poverty alleviation projects at the grassroots level. Supervision over the management of these should be strengthened to ensure their sustained performance and prevent corruption at the grassroots level due to poor management.
Huang Luqi, president of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
We should maintain the pragmatic style of work developed in the prevention and control of the pandemic and resolutely prevent formalism and bureaucracy. Anti-corruption in the scientific research sector should be strict but also arouse the enthusiasm of researchers. A negative list of things that researchers are forbidden to do can be formulated, and researchers are free to do what is not on the list, so that they can devote more energy and time to research and innovation.
