2016李克强答中外记者提问(4)

[人民日报、人民网记者]总理，您好。现在社会上有不少人担心中国的反腐败会不会是一阵风？去年我们也查出了不少贪官，这是否说明中国在制度方面还存在着某些缺陷？此外，政府下一步在反腐败上还会有什么新的行动？谢谢。

People’s Daily: There is a widely shared concern in the society as to whether this recent anti-corruption campaign will be a short-lived one. Last year, many corrupt

officials were dealt with, but does this show there exist some institutional flaws in China? What new steps will the government take to combat corruption?

[李克强]中国党和政府反对腐败的意志和决心是一贯的。十八大以来，以习近平同志为总书记的党中央坚持有贪必反、有腐必惩，取得新成效，我们会坚持不懈地做下去。对于腐败分子和腐败行为，我们实行的是“零容忍”。中国是法治国家，不论是谁，不论职位高低，法律面前人人平等，只要是触犯了党纪国法，就要依法依纪严肃查处、惩治。

Li Keqiang: The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have a firm will and resolve to fight corruption. This is our consistent position. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary has been steadfast in combating corruption and holding corrupt officials accountable. New progress has been made in this regard and we will carry forward this campaign with perseverance. For corrupt behaviors and corrupt officials, we will show zero tolerance. China is a country under the rule of law. No matter who he is and how senior his position is, if he violates Party discipline and law of the country, he will be seriously dealt with and punished to the full extent of the law, because everybody is equal before the law.

腐败是人民政府的天敌，我们要用法治的思维，用制度来管权、管钱。今年要继续推进简政放权，而且要加快推进“权力清单”公布，界定权力的边界，防止滥用权力。对于社会公众高度关注的一些领域，比如像土地出让金收入、矿产权的转让等，我们要全面审计，要通过一系列的制度性措施，让权力寻租行为、让腐败现象无藏身之地。谢谢。

Corruption is the natural enemy of a people’s government. We must apply the rule of law in both thinking and action in fighting corruption. And we must put the exercise of power and use of public money under institutional check. This year, we will continue to streamline administration and delegate government power. We are going to release to the public a list of powers as quickly as possible and set down a clear boundary for the exercise of power to prevent power abuse. We will also carry out comprehensive audits in those areas which are of high concern to the public, including the revenue on the

transfer of land use rights and transfer of mining rights. We will take institutional steps to ensure that rent-seeking behaviors and corruption have nowhere to hide.
