Senior CPC leader stresses inspection work

BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- A senior leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Friday stressed the need of strengthening inspection to intensify intra-party supervision and maintain discipline.

He Guoqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and head of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the remarks during a meeting of the central leading group set up for the CPC's inspection work.

Intra-party inspection was formulated as part of the CPC's intra-party supervision mechanism in 2003.

Intra-party inspection is key to enforcing the CPC's disciplines, stepping up party building and maintaining social stability, He said.

He urged inspection authorities to give top priority to the enforcement of the party's political disciplines.
