Top anti-graft watchdog to launch WeChat tip channel in Jan.

Xinhua, December 29, 2015 Adjust font size:

China's disciplinary watchdog will launch its official WeChat account on Jan. 1 as part of efforts to reach a broader audience amid an anti-corruption drive.

In addition to providing users with first-hand, authoritative information, the WeChat account will have a one-click channel for users to report disciplinary violations by officials, the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement on Tuesday.

The CCDI currently has a website and a mobile application, which occasionally publish information on fallen officials.

In a separate statement, the CCDI said it has received more than 270,000 tips from the public since 2013 and transferred some 8,400 pieces of evidence to judicial organs.

WeChat, operated by Tencent, is the most popular messaging app in China, with more than 500 million registered users. Endi
