Disclosure rule pushed to officials at lower levels

Declarations include information about income sources, family matters and company positions

A regulation requiring Party officials and public servants to declare their personal incomes and assets has been extended to lower-level officials, according to the disciplinary results published by the country's top anti-graft authority.

The regulation has been in place since 2010 but is receiving renewed attention. Anti-graft authorities in 11 regions have begun to apply it to lower-level individuals. The 11 areas are Anhui, Guizhou, Hainan, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangxi, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, along with Beijing and the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
