China tightens graft watch ahead of holiday

The disciplinary watchdog of the Communist Party of China (CPC) launched a weekly anti-graft report on Monday ahead of the May Day holiday.

In the report, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) named officials involved in 112 cases of illegal subsidies, lavish spending at weddings and funerals, use of public funds for banquets, running private errands with official cars, among others.

In one case, Wang Bo, a low-ranking official with Beijing's Dongcheng district public security bureau, took gift cards worth 12,000 yuan (1,935 U.S. dollars) given by enterprises from the end of 2012 to early 2013.

The CCDI also featured an "I report" section on its official website for the public to report graft and inappropriate behavior in the lead up to the May Day holiday from May 1 to May 3.

Since April 2014, it has become a regular practice for the CCDI to reveal cases of corruption every week for four to five weeks in the lead up to national holidays, as holidays usually see a rise of gift-giving, banquets and ceremonies, among other violations.

To date, the CCDI has named and shamed unscrupulous officials in over 2,000 such cases.
