Preventing and combating corruption and negativity requires unity from top to bottom and consistency across the board. This is the task and responsibility of specialized agencies and a common concern of all classes of people, cadres, party members and international friends.

In preventing and combating corruption and negativity, we must pay attention to ensuring the four "no's": "cannot, dare not, need not and do not want corruption". Prevention must always go hand in hand with construction. It is not necessary to handle many people to be good, but to focus on prevention, alerting, warning, deterring, and limiting corruption and negativity; no tolerance, no rest, no forbidden zones...
