Communist Party Adopts Stricter Rules Against Corruption

The Communist Party of China (CPC) has adopted stricter disciplinary measures against its members who have been implicated in corruption cases.

Xia Zanzhong, a deputy secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said this recently in a Xinhua interview.

Xia urged local departments concerned to earnestly study and implement the recently issued regulations on punishing leading officials at different levels who, taking advantages of their positions, have accepted or given cash, securities and certificates of payment.

Although the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have repeatedly ordered not to be involved in such activities, some leading officials are continuing their wrongdoings, which have tarnished the image of the Party and the government, Xia said.

According to the new regulations, anyone who has been involved in such activities will be punished, he noted.
