Chinese leader Liu Yunshan on Wednesday ordered the chiefs of local organization departments of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to firmly reject nepotism, bribery, illicit canvassing and vote-buying in the selection of new officials.
"Selecting an official is like hoisting a banner," he said, stressing efforts to promote those who are outstanding in performance and enjoy popular support.
"If a talented person is selected, more talented people will come," Liu said, citing an ancient Chinese proverb.
Liu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, urged substantial efforts to be made to improve ways of selecting and promoting officials.
He made the remarks while addressing a meeting of local CPC organization department chiefs from across the country in Beijing.
Liu said organizational authorities, who are in charge of issues concerning the selection of officials, shall maintain high-level political awareness in resolutely fighting improper practices in selecting officials.
