BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) -- The leading group of the ongoing Communist Party of China education campaign themed "staying true to our founding mission" has called for "real swords and spears" in handling major problems highlighted in the campaign.

The group made the urge in a newly released circular, asking all regions and departments to address problems with proactivity and courage.

Handling major problems is a significant approach for the education campaign to take real effect, the circular noted.

According to the circular, major problems include violation of the eight-point code on improving Party and government conduct, the practice of formalities for formalities' sake and bureaucratism at primary levels, and infringement of people's interests.

It also asked local authorities and sectors to make targeted efforts to deal with other issues not listed in the education campaign in light of their actual conditions.
