Thousands targeted in graft fight

Top watchdog vows to take tougher line against officials violating regulations

More than 29,000 people were subject to Party discipline and government regulations during the first 11 months of last year as the country's anti-graft campaign picked up steam.

A total of 29,011 were involved in more than 32,000 cases that contravened the eight-point regulations aimed at practicing austerity among Party members and bringing the Party closer to the masses.
