China's anti-corruption chief He Guoqiang yesterday urged authorities to utilize the public's online comments and postings in the country's ongoing attempt to fight corruption.

He, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said channels should be expanded to solicit public opinions and efforts be made to give full play to the positive role that the Internet has had in the fight against corruption.

"He's remarks showed the unprecedented resolute determination of the CPC to fight corruption, and it will lead to powerful practice," said Ye Duchu, a senior professor with the Central Party School.
