In terms of careful advancement and improvement of mechanisms. Guangdong has successively issued relevant opinions and regulations, making it clear that the secretaries of the five levels of provinces, cities, counties, towns, and villages should personally grasp the struggle against organized crime and eliminate evil forces, clearly improve the normalization of the prevention and crackdown and rectification mechanism at the source, and crack down on criminal acts related to criminal syndicates and evil forces in accordance with the law.

In 2021, the Guangdong Provincial Leading Group for the Struggle against Organized Crime and Evil Forces will focus on grasping a number of key clues, deeply investigating a number of "protective umbrellas", hunting down a batch of "ten practical things" such as "fish that slipped through the net", and promoting the continuous efforts and long-term effectiveness of all relevant departments in various localities; identifying 2 key cities and listing 8 prominent problems related to criminal syndicates and evil in 3 counties and districts.

By the end of last year, the disposal rate of assets in existing cases involving criminal syndicates and evil forces in effective judgments had reached 99.9 percent and 100 percent, respectively.
