The head of China's disciplinary inspections urged investigators to focus on specific targets such as individuals, affiliated organs or special funds as the latest round of probes begins.

The third round of inspection for 2014 will soon start for 13 state organizations, including the Ministry of Culture, China State Shipbuilding Corporation, China Unicom and Sinopec.

Wang Qishan, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China (CPC) called on inspection groups to have clear goals and solve corruption problems by cooperating with all departments involved.

"Inspection should be carried out for a long time. Some regions and departments that have already been inspected also need a second inspection," said Wang.

Inspectors should recognize corruption and malpractice by observing minor problems so as to improve undesirable work styles.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress was held in 2012, the anti-graft campaign has completed inspections across 31 provincial-level regions as well as in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, achieving great progress.

During previous rounds discipline violation and corruption in cadre selection were exposed, Wang said. He urged all inspectors to promote Party building and fight against corruption.

Wang said leaders of inspection teams should be loyal, clean, responsible and stick to principles in order to crack the hardest nuts. Those of dereliction of duty will be severely punished.

The CCDI should also speed up to revise the CPC's draft regulation on inspection, Wang added.
