Since Xi Jinping took over the leadership of the party, he has been continuing with the anti-corruption campaign in which over a million officials, including several top military generals, were punished.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned senior ruling Communist Party officials to maintain personal integrity, set strict rules for relatives to keep them away from corruption and refrain from blindly following "foreign examples" and reckless actions.
"Members of the Political Bureau of the CPC (Communist Party of China) Central Committee should exert rigorous requirements on themselves according to the standards of Marxist statesmen, setting an example in maintaining personal integrity and self-discipline for the whole Party," Xi told a key meeting of the party on December 22, details of which were released by the official media on Sunday.
"They must set strict rules for their family members, relatives, and staff workers around them when it comes to the efforts against corruption," said 70-year-old Xi, who is the only Chinese leader after party founder Mao Zedong to continue in power for a third successive term.
