Political, legal black sheep to be targeted

Rectification of problems in system and personnel to bolster public trust

China has launched a nationwide operation to rectify problems in the country's political and legal system and remove black sheep.

At the launch of the campaign in Beijing on Saturday, Guo Shengkun, head of the Communist Party of China Central Committee's Political and Legal Affairs Commission, urged the rectification of deep-rooted problems in the system and its personnel to enable the building up of public trust.

Guo said that while most political and legal personnel can be trusted by the Party and the people, there are still some problematic areas.
