The Communist Party of China has pledged to vigorously crack down on the “unwritten rules” that enable corruption in the party, deepening its long-running campaign to keep officials in line.

At a Friday press conference, senior officials described the important takeaways from the 20th Central Committee’s fifth plenum, which concluded the day before. They underscored President Xi Jinping’s assertion that corruption remains a serious challenge that requires sustained pressure and targeted action against the informal practices that undermine formal rules.

The four-day conclave concluded with the adoption of a communique titled “Decision of the CPC Central Committee on several major issues concerning persevering with full and rigorous party self-governance”.
