Liuyang officials to disclose wealth

Liuyang city in Hunan province recently issued a circular, directing all government leaders to reveal their and their families' income and other financial assets starting this year, a local newspaper reported yesterday.

The local commission for discipline inspection, which framed the circular, aims to "intelligently" build a sound disclosure system in a bid to fight corruption, Fu Xuming, secretary of the commission, was quoted as saying by the Changsha Evening News.

"We are still researching a comprehensive disclosure system," he said.
