A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official on Wednesday urged Party officials to set examples in fighting undesirable work styles and keeping self-disciplined.

Speaking at a symposium with provincial-level officials, Wang Qishan, secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said the Party exercises self-discipline and will be strict with its members as the anti-corruption campaign still faces challenges.

To perform clean governance, officials should constantly fight formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance, he said, urging strict measures to prevent undesirable work styles.

He encouraged officials to resist temptation.

Education, disciplinary systems and punishment should be strengthened to ensure officials are unwilling to, unable to or do not dare be corrupt, he said.

Problems should be rooted out and settled as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming serious, he added. Endi
