China seizes on Olympic fair play
On Wednesday, Hua Jianmin, a senior member of China's cabinet, the State Council, said the authorities would intensify efforts against corruption in government.
"We will continue to follow the strategic approach of tackling both the symptoms and the root causes, taking comprehensive measures, combining punishment and prevention with emphasis on the latter," Hua said.
Senior Chinese officials have been reported in the official news media as saying that the new measures have so far ensured that construction projects for the Games have been corruption free.
Anticorruption experts attending this week's conference said Hua's speech, with its recognition that prevention was as important as draconian punishment, was a clear sign of changing attitudes toward fighting corruption at high levels of the Chinese government.
China has traditionally relied on the threat of serious punishment, including the death penalty, to deter graft. However, international advisers and specialists from Hong Kong have been
advising the Chinese government that education, transparency and preventative
measures are also important.
