Combating corruptionIn 2026, the year of the beginning of the “fifty-fifty-five” and the 105th anniversary of the establishment of the party, there has been a steady and steady movement from party rule, party integrity and the fight against corruption. The five plenary sessions of the 20th session of the central disciplinary commission focused and set the tone for the year's anti-corruption efforts, with high pressure levels of full coverage, no-prohibited zones and zero-tolerance, and identified the target areas and areas of focus, regardless of the size of the post or the depth of the problem, which, if touched by the red line, would never be tolerated。
Today, as a senior journalist who has spent many years trying to understand and focus on the culture of discipline, and in connection with the official authority deployed at the january 2026 plenary session of the central disciplinary commission, the focus of this year's anti-corruption campaign, key areas of discipline, and new discipline initiatives have been clearly articulated in the white language, conveying both the anti-corruption determination and the public's sense of the direction to be taken to protect the political environment。
One, 2026, focus on the four categories
Central disciplinary committeeIt is clear that the fight against corruption in 2026 will focus on key populations, focus on discipline and target corruption, and that the following four categories of persons are at the heart of the year's scrutiny, and no one can escape it。
Political “two faces”, primary targets for clearance
Such persons, who appear to be loyal to the party, who speak and act in a uniform manner, are in the shadows of an intransigent, unsatisfied, “seven, yes”, and who are politically disloyal, disloyal and unfaithful to the central decision-making of the party. By 2026, political discipline and political discipline will be at the forefront, with a firm determination to rid the “two-faced” group of people, to seriously address political speculation, sectarianism and pessimism, and to ensure that the whole party is broken down and firmly upholds its central authority and unity of leadership。
“key minority” and “first-hand” focus on the core of power
Leadership at all levels, “first-hand” power of decision-making, approval, oversight power, if corrupted, is extremely damaging. This year, attention will be focused on the abuse of power by “first-hand” and leaders, the collusion of businesses, and the endorsement of power as capital, the exploitation of influence by relatives and staff for corruption, the management of family-style corruption, the transmission of benefits, etc., the breaking of the “first-first-hand” oversight challenge, and the control of the power of the “critical minority.”。
Young cadres, containing the “break of the morning”
In response to corruption at the age of 35 in recent years, a small number of young cadres have been “adult and corrupt” and will be strengthened in 2026 to monitor and monitor disciplinary offences against young cadres, monitor their promotion and exercise of full authority, firmly curb the trend of corruption at an under-age age, keep the cadres alive and guide young cadres to keep their “first buttons” in a clean manner。
The crowd is surrounded by “flies and ants,” which directly strikes people
Basic cadres face the crowd directly, eating “micro-corruption” such as placards, false statements, good friends and so on, but directly harming the people's personal interests and gaining a sense of belonging. This year, the fight against corruption at the grass-roots level will continue, and small officials in areas such as agricultural subsidies, land demolitions, old-age social security and rural “triple-capital” management will be thoroughly investigated for their greed and inaction。
At the same time, the fight against corruption in 2026, which insisted on the joint investigation of bribes, was accompanied by severe punishments for corrupt corrupt bribe-payers, as well as by the digging up of cadres and bribe-payers for personal gain, and the cutting off of the chain of corrupt interests; and increased cross-border corruption investigations, in conjunction with the promotion of anti-transborder corruption legislation, was aimed at denying safe haven to those fleeing corruption。
Ii. 2026 to focus on these areas. Targets are strong and comprehensive. Bottom
Areas of concentration, funding and resource accumulation, traditionally high levels of corruption, will deepen in mid-2026Focus areasThe following areas are of the utmost importance, and none is spared, in the fight against corruption, which covers the key components of the country's livelihood, economic development and social governance。
1. Financial sphere: safeguarding the economic life of the country

It will address new types of corruption such as financial “rats”, shadow shareholders, arbitrage, and so forth. It will firmly hold the line against systemic financial risk and safeguard national financial security and mass “money bags”。
2. In the area of state enterprises: protection against the loss of state assets
State-owned enterprises are the backbone of the state economy, focusing on key elements such as restructuring, investment and acquisition of state enterprises, asset disposal, material purchases, property transactions, selection of people, scrutiny of issues such as “eat-to-eat”, rent-seeking, related transactions, and the channelling of benefits, and determined management of corrupt practices that embezzle state assets, cause loss of state resources and establish the foundations of state enterprise development。
Energy and resources: securing the safety floor line

It scrutinizes the approval of resources, tenders for projects, construction operations, trading in power and money in safe production, non-compliance in contracting and appropriation of resources. It regulates the allocation of resources, breaks down power-seeking spaces and guarantees national energy and resource security。
4. In the area of medical health: protecting the lives of the population money
Following closely the procurement of medical supplies, the use of health insurance funds, tenders for medical equipment, hospital infrastructure, fees for medical treatment and treatment, the commercial rebates, fraudulent insurance, over-diagnosis and unreasonable fees are being scrutinized, the health-care industry is being continuously cleansed, the “life-saving money” of people's access to health care is being firmly safeguarded, and the corruption behind people's difficult and expensive visits is being addressed。
5. Construction and tender areas: management of industrial disruptions
The focus on construction, land concessions, planning and approval, construction of development areas, tenders, etc., is to combat the problems of fenced tenders, subcontracting, non-conforming and receiving bribes, to combat the “image engineering” of performance works, to regulate the construction of projects and to prevent the loss of public funds。
6. Focus area on livelihoods: upholding justice
In addition to medicine, the areas of education, higher education, sports, old-age services, rural “three-dollar” and high-standard farm construction will be comprehensively addressed. (c) to monitor the admission of students to education, the financing of scientific research, the management of competitions, corruption and irregularities in the granting of old-age pensions, and to promote the regulation of charitable activities in the public interest so that the well-being of the people is truly at the mercy of the population。
In addition, corruption and behaviour issues in the areas of fire protection, tobacco, societies, safe production and so forth were also included in the 2026 strict scrutiny to combat corruption with no end in sight。
New anti-corruption initiatives: both symptoms and effects control
The fight against corruption this year has not only a critical focus, but also a more pragmatic approach, which insists on moving forward as one “indignant, indefatigable and inexorable” in order to achieve the same end in the fight against deterrence, institutional restraint and integrity education。
The first is to explore new forms of corruption and covert corruption, such as expected profits, contracts, and “rotation doors” for political and commercial parties, and to put in place precise measures to improve the penetration of anti-corruption in order to prevent hidden corruption; the second is to deepen corruption and co-regulate corruption, both in terms of corruption and in terms of addressing the “four winds” behind it; to scrutinize the luxuries of malpractices, gifts and public tourism, and to resolutely address formalism, bureaucracy and bureaucracy; and the third is to strengthen the promotion of justice, the investigation of cases, warnings and governance, and the closing of regulatory gaps and the improvement of mechanisms of power constraints; and the fourth is to open channels of public scrutiny, the monitoring of complaints platform based on discipline, and to encourage the public to reflect corruption issues, to maintain confidentiality and speed of investigation, and to develop a strong synergy of universal oversight。
The persistence of the fight against corruption in 2026, rather than a windfall, was an act of truth and an act of truth that demonstrated the firm determination and unequivocal attitude of the central party to combat corruption. Both senior management and grass-roots staff will be severely punished if they touch the legal red line. Both the focus areas and the weaknesses will be fully addressed if there is corruption。
