Senior Chinese official Wu Guanzheng on Saturday called for determined and
forceful measures to crack down on commercial bribery.
Wu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) made the remarks at an executive
meeting of the leading group of the national anti-commercial bribery.
The crack down on commercial bribery should focus on the issues of people's
concern that seriously harm the public interests and disturb the market order,
especially in areas including construction, lease of land-use property, property
trade, pharmaceutical purchase, government procurement and resource developing
and trading, he said.
Wu, also secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection,
said that civil servants who abuse their power in involvement or interference
with the business of entrepreneurial or institutional units to seek bribery or
illegal profits should be severely punished.
He called for the speedup of the establishment of a credit system to better
impose management and supervision over related transactions.
The crack down on commercial bribery should be based on China's realities, Wu
said, adding that China should also enhance exchanges with other countries and
learn from their experiences infighting against commercial bribery.
