Zero Tolerance

Anti-corruption was the key topic of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC) between January 18 and 20, where President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, demanded to punish corruption with a zero-tolerance approach.

Prior to the meeting, a five-episode aired on China Central Television Channel 1 during prime time. A foreboding for CPC cadres, the program featured convicted high-ranking officials voicing their regrets about their fraudulent wrongdoings.
