China begins new anti-graft inspection

Xinhua, November 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Anti-graft teams have been deployed in 19 provincial-level regions or agencies to uncover corruption, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said in a statement Thursday.

The inspection, the third round this year, will target 27 Party organizations, including those of the Party Literature Research Office of the CPC Central Committee, the China International Publishing Group and the Guangming Daily, it said, adding that anti-graft teams will be sent to all agencies by Nov. 15.

Graft-busters will also reexamine Beijing and Chongqing municipalities, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Gansu Province, which had been examined in a previous round of checks, to ensure the effects of the inspections last.

The CPC began routinely sending teams to oversee the performance of officials in 2003, and the practice was formally written into the Party's Constitution five years later. Endi
