Firm in fighting corruption

Tuesday's State Council meeting on clean governance once again demonstrated the new leadership's determination to fight corruption and build a cleaner, thriftier and more efficient government to be ruled by law and free of abuse of power.

At the meeting, Premier Li Keqiang vowed to deepen anti-corruption efforts through systematic reforms and improvements: from transforming government functions, delegating power to lower-level governments and accelerating the marketization of public resources trading, to promoting information disclosure on environmental pollution, food and production safety, and the establishment of an open and transparent budget.

Li's latest campaign for a clampdown on corruption and clean governance came soon after he was sworn in as China's top government head and thus reflects the consistency of the anti-corruption efforts launched by the new leadership.
