China's top law enforcement official has called for a six-month strike hard campaign on official and corporate corruption and vowed substantial results within two years, state press said.
State Councillor Luo Gan, head of the Communist Party's politics and law commission, made the call in a tele-conference when he also urged judicial and law enforcement officers to step up efforts to crack down on terrorism, the leading People's Daily said.
"We must steadfastly turn over every rock to search out those protecting the evil forces behind the scenes, no matter who they are and no matter what position they hold," Luo was quoted as saying.
He called on law enforcement agencies to "destroy the political and economic bases" of those who harbour criminal activity, saying the ongoing "strike hard" campaign - which has largely been targeted at violent crime - be closely linked with a fight against government corruption.
Rampant corruption in China has long been tied to government, police and military officials who often engage in lucrative economic activities and businesses and who develop underworld protection rackets to safeguard their interests.
