Auditor who whipped up storms says weather is improving

Li, auditor-general of the China National Audit Office (CNAO), has become a national icon for what the media has dubbed the "annual auditing storm" targeting irregular spending by government departments.

Looking back, Li said that publicity and transparency are the best cure for corruption and bureaucratic procedures.
