Supervisory commissions tackle graft from the root

The just-concluded 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era "in the Party Constitution. As part of General Secretary Xi Jinping's report to the 19th Party Congress on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, Xi's thought shows the political wisdom of the central leadership with Xi Jinping as the core.

An important part of Xi's thought is the enhancement of Party leadership over all aspects of society to advance law-based governance in all corners of China and to help the people run the country with commitment to the organic unity of Party leadership.

The idea of extending the supervisory commissions, piloted in Beijing municipality, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces, to different parts of the country corroborates the principle of overall Party leadership in all aspects of society. Once the supervisory commissions are established nationwide, they will help unify the principles of overall Party leadership, the people running the country and the rule of law into one organic whole.
