The Communist Party of China (CPC) has urged its members to abide by new Party rules.

The CPC Central Committee adopted updated rules on clean governance and sanctions for those who violate the Party code of conduct on Oct. 12, as the old ones were deemed outdated since the launch of the anti-corruption drive.
