The new banquet redlines clearly stipulate1 which kinds of banquets and dinners officials are forbidden to attend, which will not only reduce the wasting of taxpayers2' money, but also shrink the breeding ground for corruption3.

新的飯局紅線明確規(guī)定了哪種宴會(huì)和飯局領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部不可以參加，此舉不只能降低對(duì)納稅人錢的浪費(fèi)，而且能縮減滋生腐敗的溫床。

作為反腐行動(dòng)（anti-graft campaign）之一，杭州紀(jì)委需要官員在聚餐前要了解和哪個(gè)吃，在哪吃，特別是哪個(gè)買單的問(wèn)題（know clearly the participants and restaurants and especially who pays the bill）。麗水也頒布規(guī)定，明確了20鐘官員不可以參加的宴請(qǐng)，其中包含公款吃喝（banquets using public funds）、上下級(jí)吃請(qǐng)（banquets between higher and lower level officials）等。

各類飯局和商務(wù)宴請(qǐng)為官商勾結(jié)（collusion among officials and businessmen）提供了便利，是滋生腐敗和以權(quán)謀私的溫床（become a breeding ground for corruption and abuse of power）。在正常商務(wù)聚餐和動(dòng)機(jī)不純聚餐之間有一個(gè)灰色地區(qū)（gray zone），因此一些官員鉆規(guī)章規(guī)范的空子（take advantage of the vagueness of regulations）大行違法亂紀(jì)之事�，F(xiàn)在飯局紅線愈加明確，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部們，還約嗎？
