Anti-corruption effort ramped up for festival

China's top disciplinary authority has set up an online platform to receive reports of corruption from the public during this weekend's Dragon Boat Festival. Central Commission for Discipline Inspection added a "Clean Dragon Boat Festival Holiday" section to its website on Thursday. Bans are already in place against using public funds to buy holiday presents such as zongzi, the traditional rice dumplings served during the festival.
