At the National Conference on Political and Legal Affairs, held on Tuesday, Xi Jinping, the top leader, vowed to deal a hard blow to corruption in judicial agencies and called on judicial staff nationwide to stay clean. Comments:
According to the reform plan released by the third and fourth plenums of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the nation's judiciary is experiencing major changes such as separating bureaucratic power from professional judicial work, which is expected to put judicial power under transparent supervision. We hope the ongoing reform can root out corruption from the judiciary.

In the past year, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission publicized 35 serious criminal cases involving members of the judiciary and police officers, such as a drunken policeman shooting a pregnant woman to death in Guizhou province and other cases. This, together with the various speeches of leaders on the issue, clearly sends a signal that the top leadership is determined to make the judiciary free of corruption.
