Reporting on the Municipality's 'rectification' efforts, the Chongqing Daily (January 29) stated that in the
past year, the city has held about 3,500 special lectures on Xi Jinping's thought on the rule of law and the
study and education of party history, conducted 1,520 political rotation training sessions, delivered 840 party
lectures by "top leaders", and carried out "four explanations based on cases" and "four reforms based on
cases". It said more than 1820 sessions of lessons and "warning education" sessions had been held. The
majority of political and legal police officers said: "After going through strict and serious political experience,
ideological tempering, practical exercise, and organizational test, they have strengthened their ideals and
beliefs, supplemented their spiritual calcium, and built up political loyalty." The daily added that at the same
time, Chongqing also insists on strengthening political construction and "eliminating the influence of stray
poisons" as a major political task. It said that in order to let the "masses truly feel the new changes in the political and legal system, the entire political and legal system has focused on the "six stubborn diseases",
insisted on opening the door for rectification, inviting the masses to participate, allowing the masses to
supervise and evaluate them, and insisting on combining prescribed actions with self-selected actions,
"reducing the "Stock" and "control of increment", comprehensively investigate the frequent, stubborn and
typical problems that are strongly reflected by the masses and affect strict law enforcement and impartial
justice, and make efforts in the whole chain and system-wide rectification". It announced that at present, the
city has "rectified 21,000 stubborn maladies", with a rectification rate of 100%.
(Comment: Chongqing has received special attention from Beijing ever since former Politburo member Bo
Xilai and his successor Sun Zhengcai (2012-2017) were both dismissed and imprisoned. One of the charges
for Sun Zhengcai's dismissal and arrest was that he did not "eliminate" the "poisonous influences" of Bo
Xilai!)
