The article emphasizes that corruption is the biggest cancer that endangers the vitality and combat effectiveness of the party, and anti-corruption is the most thorough self-revolution. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission and discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have maintained strategic determination and strengthened the high-pressure anti-corruption situation. Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels adhere to the principle of no restricted areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance, keep a close eye on key issues, key areas, and key objects, and keep a close eye on new types of corruption and hidden corruption, and comprehensively promote those who dare not, cannot, and do not want to corrupt. Consolidate the hard-won overwhelming victory.

Groups and cliques endanger political security, extract policy dividends and hinder the implementation of major policies, form interest groups between governments and businesses to form regional corruption, corruption changes invisibly, methods are renovated and upgraded, etc. We must deeply understand the political harm of corruption, deeply understand the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the anti-corruption struggle, resolutely overcome the emotions of carelessness, relaxation, fatigue and war weariness, and prevent the idea of completing all their achievements in one battle, and always be on the road. Persistence and perseverance will carry out the anti-corruption struggle to the end.
