The report says that the Party "will strengthen deterrence so officials dare not be corrupt, strengthen the cage of institutions so they're unable to be corrupt, and strengthen their vigilance so that they have no desire to commit corruption". This is a process from outside restraint to inner self-consciousness, achieved with both strict supervision and firm ideal and conviction.
