The Communist Party of China (CPC) on Wednesday proposed a new emphasis in the country's anti-corruption campaign. 

At the three-day plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the CPC, held from Monday to Wednesday, China's top disciplinary body adopted a communique, vowing to achieve high-standard intraparty and state supervision to boost the country's system for governance. 

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, addressed the session, along with other Party and state leaders including Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, and Han Zheng.

According to the communique, the Party pledged every effort in 2020 to deepen self-reform and strengthen oversight over the exercise of power, advancing a system under which officials "don't dare to, are unable to and have no desire to commit acts of corruption".

China has maintained a tough stance against corruption since 2017.  

Xi called corruption the "greatest threat the Party faces" in October 2017, urging all CPC members to have the resolve and tenacity to persevere in the "never-ending" fight against corruption.
