China's anti-graft chief Li Xi has called for greater efforts to ensure the high-quality development of discipline inspection and supervision work.

Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the remarks during a research tour to east China's Shandong Province that lasted from Wednesday to Friday.

Li visited a smart logistics park, a family farm and a village in Linyi City. He underlined that the efforts to improve Party conduct, build integrity, and combat corruption should extend to the grassroots level and target the most pressing issues of public concern.

During his visit to the Confucius Research Institute in Qufu City, Li urged efforts to foster the culture of integrity and to serve the country's high-quality development with solid discipline inspection and supervision work.

At the Sinotruk Group and the JIER Machine-Tool Group in Jinan City, he urged discipline inspection agencies to fulfill their supervisory responsibilities and help state-owned enterprises better serve national strategies. At the People's Court of Shizhong District in Jinan, he emphasized the importance of serving the people through the judiciary.

When presiding over a symposium to review the progress of discipline inspection and supervision work and solicit opinions and suggestions, Li stressed that discipline inspection and supervision agencies play an important role in advancing the self-reform of the CPC.

Li called on these agencies to intensify efforts in combating misconduct and graft, particularly those affecting people's daily lives, and improve their own capabilities in an effective and persistent manner.

Li also paid tribute at the East China Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in Linyi City, honoring their heroic deeds.

The China Media Group (CMG) held the first rehearsal for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala on Saturday, fine-tuning the highly anticipated TV event amid the festive atmosphere of the traditional Chinese New Year.

The rehearsal seamlessly integrated innovative technologies with vibrant stage visuals, offering a first glimpse of the gala's overall impact under the theme "Galloping Steed, Onward Unstoppable.”

Inspired by traditional Chinese culture, the Year of the Horse gala incorporates zodiac themes that symbolize perseverance and progress. The production merges art and technology, using AI, AR, and XR to create immersive, blended-reality visuals. Horse-themed artistic installations shape a dynamic stage, while original songs and opera pieces convey the spirited ethos of the zodiac year.

Robots, which made their debut in last year's gala, will once again take the stage at the Spring Festival Gala, showcasing the country's technological advancements.

Known as "Chunwan" in Chinese, the gala has been broadcast live annually since 1983 and is regarded as a major cultural symbol for the Chinese New Year celebrations in China. This year's gala will air on Feb 16, the eve of the Chinese New Year.

The gala has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the most-watched annual television program worldwide. Just over a year ago, the Spring Festival itself was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
