Public Tip-Offs Aid Anti-Corruption Bid in China

Procurators across China yesterday encouraged the public to tip them off about instances of corruption and dereliction of duty as part of a nationwide campaign.

In the first five months of this year, 8,500 cases of dereliction and violation of rights have been recorded, a 10 percent increase over the same period last year, according to Tuesday's China Daily.

In downtown Beijing's Xidan, procurators from the Supreme People's Procuratorate handed out pamphlets, offered legal advice and noted a number of complaints.

Since its establishment in China in the late 1980s, the tipping system has become an important source of clues for the nation's procurators in their battle against corruption.

Sources with the Supreme People's Procuratorate indicate tips from the public provide clues in roughly 80 percent of all the cases it handles.

However, only about 20 percent of the cases of dereliction can be tracked back to tip-offs from the public.

Li Baotang, responsible for the work of cases of dereliction in the Supreme People's Procuratorate attributed such a phenomenon to the public's limited awareness of such a crime.
