The advantages of rigid system constraints and ideological education that do not want to be corrupted are integrated into one, and the system is implemented to treat both symptoms and root causes.
"In the past year, the anti-corruption struggle has also included strict investigations into corruption cases where political and economic issues are intertwined. For example, the Sun Lijun political gang case is a case of mixed political and economic interests, political issues and corruption investigated and dealt with since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is one of the most serious violations of discipline and law with intertwined problems," Peng Xinlin said.
