Sept.21 - China invited foreign reporters to visit the offices of its internal disciplinary body for the first time on Thursday in a move to highlight its efforts in fighting official corruption2 and promoting government transparency.
Around 30 reporters from overseas media, including Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse, and some domestic media were given a brief tour of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection3 (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China (CPC), often viewed as mysterious organization by the public. The CCDI has been involved in the exposure of corrupt1 high-ranking officials, including Chen Liangyu, former Shanghai Party chief, Zheng Xiaoyu, former head of China's drug watchdog and Qiu Xiaohua, former head of the National Bureau of Statistics. "The tour shows our sincerity4 in boosting the transparency of Party affairs," said Chi Yaoyun, deputy director of the CCDI general office. He also answered questions raised by the reporters during the tour. Citing Chen Liangyu's case, Chi said China's anti-corruption work will focus on prevention, attaching importance to the construction of an anti-corruption system and enhancement of preventive measures. "The lesson of that case is that, as well as concentrating on constantly fighting corruption, we need to put more effort into preventing corruption," Chi told reporters. The reporters were also showed the files of more than 60,000 cases, which have been concluded since the late 1970s, but, of course, were not allowed to view the content. Shiozawa Eiichi, of Kyodo News, said it was good to see the Party's organ opened to the public but he hoped to see more detailed5 things next time. Rowan Callick from The Australian said more time for the Q&A session should have been given. Chi said the CCDI will organize similar tours according to "requirements" and hold more press conferences in the future to allow the public to have a more comprehensive understanding about the CCDI.
