Days prior to the sixth plenary session of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC), which is to meet from January 12 to 14, 2016, CDIC Chairman and Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC) member Wang Qishan said “Punishment works better than words. We will let the public see and enjoy our achievement fighting corruption. The strength of our anti-corruption efforts will not be lessened.” He described the campaign as an 'important element in cleaning up the party'.
