Have no tolerance for graft, Xi urges

Campaign a matter of life or death for the Party and nation, president says

President Xi Jinping urged disciplinary officials on Tuesday to take a zero-tolerance stance on corruption, saying "strong remedies must be continuously used to cure the illness."

He said anti-graft work last year was effective and the campaign is "a matter of life or death" for the Party and the nation. The central government has adopted a "zero tolerance" attitude to combat corrupt officials.
