BEIJING - Political discipline should be further enhanced and fractions within the Party that are organized for personal gain are "absolutely not tolerated," a key meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was told.

"Despite a certain amount of control over undesirable work styles and corruption, the entire Party should keep its cool in the still arduous and complicated anti-graft fight," said a statement released Monday after a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

"Discipline should be put in a more prominent position so as to strengthen restraints on Party officials and members through strict and clear rules," the statement said.

"Organizing cliques within the Party to run personal businesses is absolutely not tolerated," it said.

The meeting also scheduled the fifth plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) for Jan. 12-14.

The meeting was presided over by President Xi Jinping.
