AT a news conference to interpret the report on the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), officials reiterated that the scourge of corruption could wreck the Party if not properly addressed, and they doubled down on the importance of fighting corruption in the future, saying that a high-handed posture on the issue should not be changed, and officials should be barred from serving as proxies for interest and power groups.

The weeklong 20th National Congress of the CPC concluded in the capital Beijing on Saturday, during which corruption was a hot word that was mentioned frequently. Although the CPC has already achieved an overwhelming victory over corruption, observers said that the country will further improve the systemic and legal system for anti-corruption work, and make sure that officials don't dare to, are unable to and have no desire to commit corruption.
