Three regions in Guangdong Province have been selected as a pilot project requiring Party and government officials to report and disclose their assets, as the province implements its anti-graft plan.
Hengqin New District of Zhuhai, Nansha New District of Guangzhou, and Shixing county of Shaoguan, became the first areas in Guangdong Province to implement the pilot program, which will require Party and government officials to disclose their assets, "within a certain scope".
This is also an important part of the province's five-year Party disciplinary plan, reported the China Business Journal on Saturday.
Authorities of all three locales were unreachable for comment on Sunday.
Hengqin and Nansha are new districts which enjoy national economic preferential policies aimed at boosting cooperative development between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, while Shixing is a provincial poverty-stricken county.
The three areas already have some asset-disclosure policies, and are considered to have a better foundation for implementing the pilot project.
Guangdong province is considered a pioneer in anti-graft practices through institutional design.
