Reshuffles aim to combat nepotism

The Communist Party of China (CPC) will introduce more frequent reshuffles of disciplinary officials to avoid nepotism, a senior Party watchdog said on Friday.

He Yong, deputy secretary of the CPC's Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC), said: "The exchange (of supervisory officials) from time to time is good because those who have been in the same job for a long time build up too many connections, which can be detrimental to their work."

Speaking on the sidelines of the NPC session, He said: "Reshuffles are an important part of the supervisory system and in recent years, we have been paying more attention to that area."
