Inspections uncover officials with false records

Authorities are continuing inspections of employees' personnel dossiers at government agencies and public institutions in China following widespread falsification of credentials by officials.

In some places, officials have falsified their ages and work experience to gain promotion, Xinhua News Agency reported on Wednesday.

Of all 20 provincial regions inspected by the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection last year, dossier falsification by officials was found in 15 regions, the report said.
