In addition to the important results achieved, anti-corruption work still has certain limitations: Corruption is still very complicated; the effectiveness of some anti-corruption measures is not high; self-detection of corruption by agencies, organizations and units is still low and is mainly discovered through public opinion, denunciations, press reports or when competent agencies conduct inspections, audits and investigations to discover violations; the rate of recovery of corrupt and lost assets is still low; the value of assets to be recovered in corruption and negative cases is still large; legal provisions on handling people with corrupt behavior are not strong enough, not enough sanctions and deterrence...
