A senior Chinese leader on Monday called for media supervision
in a national campaign to prevent corruption and improve the work
of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government.
During an inspection of China Central Television Station (CCTV),
the nation's biggest broadcaster, Wu Guanzheng, member of the Standing Committee
of the CPC Central Committee's Political Bureau, said media
publicity was vital to the campaign as more efforts should be on
preventing corruption.
Wu, also secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline
Inspection of the CPC, said the media should stick to the "right
orientation" to guide public opinion, improve information on clean
governance among Party officials and the public to build an
atmosphere of probity and integrity.
Media supervision should be improved to reflect the Party's
stance and the public opinion and Party committees and the
authorities should listen to the voice of media to improve their
work, he said.
