The meeting was presided over by Ding Xuexiang, Chinese Vice Premier and member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Li Xi, Secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and also a member of the Standing Committee, attended the session.
The emphasis on anti-corruption efforts reflects the Chinese government’s commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability, aiming to strengthen public trust and support the nation’s ongoing development goals.
