Party organizations of 30 provincial regions, ministry-level agencies and state-owned enterprises will be covered in a new round of discipline inspections, the Communist Party of China's (CPC) top discipline watchdog said Friday.

It will be the first round of such inspections conducted by the 19th Central Committee of the CPC.

Approved by the CPC Central Committee, the Party organizations to be inspected include those of Hebei and Guangdong Provinces, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, the Ministry of Commerce and China National Nuclear Corporation, according to the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).

Twelve rounds of regular inspections were conducted during the term of the 18th CPC Central Committee as a form of internal supervision.

According to the CCDI, more than 50 percent of investigations into centrally-administered officials were a result of information found by discipline inspectors, since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012.

Zhao Leji, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, also head of the leading group of CPC inspection campaign, called for solid disciplinary inspection while implementing the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress.

Stating that the experience from inspections since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012 should be developed in practice, he said disciplinary inspection is a major move in strict Party governance and a strategic and institutional arrangement for intra-Party supervision.

He also underscored the need to secure a crushing victory in the fight against corruption.
