Corruption is a cancer that can easily reappear after it has been treated. As the anti-graft storm has deterred officials from giving in to temptation, what is needed is to introduce the rule of law and shut power in a cage of regulations, so that the culture of corruption, which is quite rampant among officials, can be replaced with a healthy, clean culture.

China Disciplinary Inspection Daily, Nov 5

It is a common belief among officials that an end to the anti-graft campaign will finally come and they will be able to do evil deeds again after that. The report of the inspection groups has shattered that illusion; it pointed out the problems in the authorities in several provinces without any disguise, which implies even higher pressure against corruption will be applied in the future. Those who dream of an end to anti-graft storm should wake up.
