Promotions lost over false reports

Dozens of inspected officials failed to disclose financial or family information accurately

Dozens of officials from six municipalities, provinces and regions lost their chance to be promoted because of their failure to report personal information fully and honestly.

Beijing, Shanghai, Jilin, Shaanxi, Hubei and Guangxi recently announced the results of a personal-information inspection of officials who were in line for promotion. Some of the officials were denied promotions because they concealed personal information or reported it falsely, according to a Beijing Youth Daily report on Sunday.
