Anti-graft drive wins public satisfaction

More than 70,000 officials at or above the level of county head have been investigated for suspected corruption since the 18th Communist Party of China National Congress in 2012, the top anti-graft body said on Saturday.

The anti-graft campaign continues to gain momentum and win applause from the public, according to a statement on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

A survey by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that 93 percent of Chinese people were satisfied with the anti-corruption effort in 2016, 18 percentage points higher than in 2012.
