As in recent years, corruption is the No 1 issue among the Chinese public as the annual national legislative sessions prepare to kick off next week.
However, the huge attention generated this year is due not to the worsening corruption situation, but to the rising tide of online supervision launched by a politically aware public, experts said.
"Since the public still often discovers corruption around them, anti-corruption remains one of the most popular issues at the legislative sessions. And this year is no exception," Shen Kui, a political law professor at Peking University, told China Daily.
