BEIJING - China's anti-corruption chief, He Guoqiang, has asked to enhance long-term supervision on the implementation of the country's economic stimulus policies to prevent corruption arising from it.

He, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC), attended a high-level meeting Wednesday in Beijing, where officials were briefed on the findings of law violation cases amid the implementation of the stimulus policies.

A Total of 314 cases have been exposed and handled, in which 430 Party and government officials have received disciplinary punishment for misconduct since the inspections were launched by the CCDI in November 2008, when China issued stimulus policies to graple with the financial crisis.

More stringent supervision and inspection, as well as smooth implementation of government decrees, are crucial to the cause of the Party and the State, said He, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

First, improving the long-term mechanism would require concrete measures to ensure prompt and timely supervision and inspection, he said.

Secondly, it would require an improved coordination mechanism, which is under the centralized leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the duties of all parties clearly assigned.

It would also require more meticulously drafted work plans, better-organized execution plans, and inspection on a regular basis, He said.
