China Expelled 470,000 Party Members in 12 Years
China has expelled a total of 470,000 unqualified Party members out of the Party since 1989 by way of democratic appraisal.
This is revealed by Tong Yancheng, vice bureau director of Organization Department, CCCPC (Central Committee of Communist Party of China) at the press conference in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Tong said that since the Central Committee instituted "Opinion on Introducing Democratic Appraisal System for Party Members" in 1988, activities as party member appraisal, disposal of unqualified party members have been carried out by party organizations at grass-root levels, with remarkable effects achieved.
In addition, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of CPC, Organization Department and Publicity Department, CCCPC in mid-July, 2000 jointly published "Opinion on Education for Party Members Like Cheng Kejie and Hu Changqing and Other Corrupted Members". By demonstrating typical cases, the Central Committee has educated masses of party members and strengthened the party members' ability in resisting corruption. Such education has achieved anticipated results since a widespread moral education was carried out all over the country from August to December, 2000.
