Key sectors to remain targets of nation's anti-graft efforts

Progress seen, but more needs to be done to ensure China's well-being, security

Sectors with a high concentration of power, funds and resources will continue to be the focal point of anti-corruption efforts, even as significant progress has been made in effectively curbing industrial and systemic corruption risks in the past year, experts said.

Last year, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision disclosed that 45 officials under the management of the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee were placed under disciplinary review and supervisory investigation. Among them were leaders at State-owned enterprises and in various sectors, including finance.

Chen Xuequan, a law professor at the University of International Business and Economics, stressed that the focus on key sectors is crucial in the nation's ongoing efforts to fight corruption and ensure strict governance over the Party.
