BEIJING, Nov. 4 -- All 13 inspection teams of the Communist Party of China's (CPC) top discipline watchdog were tipped off about suspected violations during their latest round of checks.

The teams were alerted to suspected violations by leaders or officials, and the tips and evidence have been transferred to the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) or the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, according to a report posted on the CCDI's website on Tuesday.

China started a new round of official conduct inspections in July and 13 teams have been sent by the CCDI to oversee officials in the provincial-level regions of Guangxi, Shanghai, Qinghai, Tibet, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang, Sichuan and Jiangsu, as well as officials with the General Administration of Sport, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and state-owned automaker China FAW Group Corporation.

As of Tuesday, all teams had published problems they found during the course of their inspections.

The website's report, which focused on "prominent problems," named eight out of the 13 inspected regions or units for violations in the construction and real estate development sectors.

Seven inspection teams discovered overstaffing of officials.

Among the other violations noted in the report were corruption by lower-level officials, misconduct in government car use and housing allocation for officials, lobbying for promotions or money-for-position deals, as well as formation of "small coteries" or factions among officials.

Some relatives of officials were found to have used the officials' influence to seek commercial gains. Inspectors also found that some officials took festival celebrations and weddings or funerals as opportunities to receive "red envelopes," or gift money, the report said.

Eleven of the 13 inspected units have been criticized for loose anti-corruption systems.
