Xinhua reports on a recent CCP Politburo meeting and subsequent circular reiterating Party discipline amid Xi’s anti-corruption campaign, and warning that cliques within the Party will not be tolerated:

Political discipline should be further enhanced and fractions within the Party that are organized for personal gain are “absolutely not tolerated,” a key meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was told.

“Despite a certain amount of control over undesirable work styles and corruption, the entire Party should keep its cool in the still arduous and complicated anti-graft fight,” said a statement released Monday after a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

“Discipline should be put in a more prominent position so as to strengthen restraints on Party officials and members through strict and clear rules,” the statement said.

“Organizing cliques within the Party to run personal businesses is absolutely not tolerated,” it said.

[…] The meeting was presided over by President Xi Jinping. [Source]

真Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.
