Name

According to Chinese state-run media, the name of the miniseries was meant to allude to the fact that China's anti-corruption drive is "longlasting".^[5] The name of the miniseries came from a quote said during a speech Chinese core leader Xi Jinping gave on January 12, 2016:^[6] {{lang|zh|"全面从严治党永远在路上。各级党组织要担负起全面从严治党主体责任。"}}^[7] ["The Chinese Communist Party is always working towards strict and comprehensive governance. Party organizations at all levels need to rise together and bear the responsibilities of strict governance."]

Reception

Chinese state-run media, such as Xinhua and China Daily, released statements of glowing praise for the program, writing it "had the power" to "make the [anti-corruption] message really hit home."^[5] The Falun Dafa affiliated New Tang Dynasty Television, on the other hand, questioned the CCP's motives for making the series, accused the CCP of "brainwashing" ({{Lang|zh|洗脑}}) the Chinese people, claimed that it was more about saving the image of the CCP than actually helping Chinese people, and furthermore claimed that the series ignores the fundamental reasons behind corruption in China.^[8]

Chris Buckely of The New York Times released a mostly positive review of the series, but noted that there were "limits to candor", such as the brief mentions of the highest convicted corrupt officials such as Zhou Yongkang. Further, Buckley noted that certain elements of corruption in China, such as the trading of military promotions and sex trafficking, went unmentioned, while the program mainly focused on gifts of luxury food products such as crocodile tail.^[9] Their review also mentioned that many Chinese Communist Party officials were ordered to watch the show.^[9]

Other Western media were harsher with their reviews. Quartz accused the CCP of forcing confessions to create the program.^[10]
