State officials from county levels up have been instructed to correct any deviations from the "correct" line in their duties and assessments of those under their supervision as part of a campaign launched by the Communist Party. The campaign, which will continue until July, was convened by Cai Qi, the party's top ideology chief, and Li Xi, the head of party discipline and anti-corruption work. Both men are members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the party's innermost circle. The campaign aims to strengthen the organization by addressing issues such as forming cliques and building white elephants. Party committees at all levels were urged to make this campaign a key task for the year, with assessments based on conditions on the ground. The campaign was launched in response to the need to address deviations from the party's standard.
