中共十八大以来推进反腐败斗争呈现出新态势。腐败现象的顽固性决定了加强反腐倡廉建设是一场持久性的硬仗。减少腐败存量、遏制腐败增量是推进反腐败斗争的新思路。减少腐败存量是针对过去，遏制腐败增量是面向未来。反腐败斗争中减少存量和遏制增量相辅相成，互相作用。在全面从严治党要求下，反腐败斗争能不能沿着科学化的轨道健康发展，有赖于发挥中国反腐倡廉道路的特色优势。以预防为主、惩治为辅的价值取向应成为中国反腐倡廉道路的重要特色。

New situations have appeared since the anticorruption movement was put forward at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Due to the refractoriness of corruption， the task of combating corruption and building a clean government is destined hard and longlasting. To reduce and restrain the amount of corruption has been a new approach to promote the combat against corruption. To reduce the amount of corruption is to deal with what already happened in the past， and to restrain the amount of corruption is to face the problems that may appear in the future. These two aspects supplement and influence one another. At the request of overall strict governing of the Party， to bring the special advantage of the Chinese road of “combating corruption and building a clean government” into a full play is crucial for developing a healthy and scientific road. The Chinese road of “combating corruption and building a clean government” shall be characterized by the practice of “prevention first” and “punishing second”.
