More than 2,000 anti-corruption laws and regulations have been enacted by the central and ministerial departments over the past five years, said a high official of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC (Communist Party of China) on Friday.
Xia Zanzhong, deputy secretary of the commission, said at a working conference that China has issued a series of anti-corruption laws and regulations, which help build an honest and clean government and improve the CPC members' conduct and the work style of the Party.
The conference was jointly held by the commission and the Supervision Ministry to mainly discuss regulations on inner-party discipline inspection and supervision.
It is a "systemic engineering" to constitute such laws and regulations and they should never have conflict with the Constitution, the CPC Constitution and the national legal systems, said Xia.
In 1998, the Regulation on Implementation of Responsibility System for Party's Work Style and Clean Government Building was jointly drafted by the commission and the Supervision Ministry and eventually issued by the Central Committee and the State Council.
The revision of the Regulation of the Communist Party of China on Disciplinary Action is underway while the drafting work on Provisional Supervision Regulation Within the Party is progressing smoothly.
