• Abstract: The Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China has put forward “steadily enhancing the penetrative power of anti-corruption efforts” as an important guideline for exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance and deepening the fight against corruption. This underscores a more clear-headed and resolute push for the integrated implementation of the strategy to deter, prevent, and eliminate corruption through fear, institutional constraints, and high consciousness. The practical paths to enhancing the penetrative power of anti-corruption efforts from the perspective of full and rigorous Party self-governance are as follows: First, empower anti-corruption work with artificial intelligence to boost its technological penetration, strive to break through the “technical barriers” in anti-corruption efforts and advance technology-enabled and smart anti-corruption initiatives as well as “algorithm-based oversight of the exercise of power”. Second, achieve full integration of oversight mechanisms to enhance the integrated penetrating power of anti-corruption work, focusing on forging an all-chain “penetrative oversight” system that integrates intra-Party oversight, state oversight, self-oversight, public oversight, institutional oversight, and oversight in accordance with Party discipline and rules. Third, foster a robust integrity culture, carry forward the tradition of self-reflection in Chinese culture, and consolidate the culture of integrity, and consolidate the ideological foundation with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, so as to enhance the penetrating power of anti-corruption efforts. The goal of steadily enhancing the penetrative power of anti-corruption efforts is to break through information barriers by virtue of scientific and technological means, achieve full integration in oversight, transcend “spatial distances”, and eliminate structural loopholes that breed corruption. Ultimately, it aims to build the capacity for “panoramic insight” and “precision targeting” of corruption issues, thereby advancing the integrated development of full and rigorous Party self-governance and the fight against corruption and unlocking their strong governance effectiveness.
