党的十三届四中全会公报提出,当前要特别注意抓好四件大事。其中一件大事,就是要大力加强党的建设,大力加强民主和法制建设,坚决惩治腐败,切实办好几件人民普遍关心的事情,决不辜负人民对党的期望。惩治腐败,这是党的要求,也是广大群众的迫切愿望。在这个问题上,我们的态度是否鲜明,行动是否果断,处理是否彻底,直接关系到人心的向背。我们这样尖锐地提出问题,并不是危言耸听, The communique from the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward that we must pay special attention to doing a good job in four major events. One of the major events is to vigorously strengthen party building, vigorously strengthen democracy and the building of the legal system, resolutely punish corruption, and earnestly handle several issues of common concern to the people, so as to live up to the people’s expectations of the party. Punishing corruption is a requirement of the party as well as an urgent desire of the broad masses. Whether our attitude is clear on this issue, whether the action is decisive and whether the handling is thorough or not has a direct bearing on the people’s heart. It is not an alarmist that we raise questions so sharply.
