The campaign has been launched as part of security maneuvers for the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, slated to start November 8th. Checks will cover venues serving the Congress, the capital's central political area, hotels, hospitals, schools, cinemas and Internet cafes. A new CPC leadership is expected to be elected during the conference, which will also set a direction for the country's development over the next five to ten years.
