China launches campaign to improve official conduct

China's central authority is about to launch a campaign to improve the conduct of officials at county-level and above.

A plan issued recently by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said the education campaign will be launched at the end of this month focusing on the "three strictness" and three solidness".

"Three strictness" refers to being strict in cultivating one's morals, using power and disciplining oneself, while "three solidness" means solid planning, working and behaving.

The campaign will especially address abuses of power and disloyalty to the Party.

Central authorities including the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Party committees in the top legislature, the State Council and top advisory body are expected to take the lead in the campaign.
