Party briefs EU on anti-graft efforts

The Communist Party of China's decision to implement strict governance and a sweeping anti-corruption campaign can help it provide constructive solutions to global problems while dealing with domestic challenges, a senior Chinese official said on Monday.

"China has entered a historically critical moment. We are becoming rich but not rich, and internationally we are becoming strong but not strong," said Yuan Shuhong, deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council at a seminar in Brussels.

In recent years, "corruption and other challenges such as weakening the Party's leadership and loosening Party governance have become rampant", he said.
