China to inspect implementation of 'mass line' campaign

BEIJING - A training session for a team that will inspect the implementation of a campaign to boost ties between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the public concluded on Friday.

On Tuesday, President Xi Jinping said the year-long campaign will be a "thorough cleanup" of undesirable work styles such as formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance.

Zhao Leji, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, urged the inspection team to spot outstanding problems and see that they are resolved.

Zhao also called for inspectors to make sure that improvements are carried out in a systematic and strict way, as well as ensure that the campaign yields concrete results.
