In his report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Wednesday, General Secretary Xi Jinping reiterated the importance of the Party and all Chinese people striving to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. And to realize that goal, strict self-governance of the ruling party is mandatory.

In fact, since the 18th National Congress, the CPC has strengthened self-governance by imposing strict discipline within the Party in an all-round way. As a result, corruption has been curbed, and the anti-corruption campaign has gained "crushing momentum", according to Xi's speech on Wednesday. Officials now "dare not" and "cannot" afford to be corrupt.

Given the severe and complicated nature of corruption, the primary task of the Party must now be to eliminate corruption in all its forms at the source.
