Hotline and mailbox set up to help fight graft

A hotline and mailbox have been set up by the Chinese military for people to report corruption and other misconduct, according to the Discipline Inspection Commission under the Central Military Commission.

The hotline uses two landline telephone numbers and two mobile phone numbers. Those wanting to appeal against a disciplinary decision can also call the hotline or send a letter to the mailbox.

The measure is aimed at encouraging tipoffs to improve public scrutiny, the commission said in a statement, adding that the anti-graft campaign could also be stepped up within the military.
