What are supervisory commissions?

Supervisory commissions are State anti-corruption agencies. The National Supervisory Commission is the highest State supervisory organ, and all provincial, city and county-level regions have their own supervisory commissions. Establishing supervisory commissions at all levels is considered a major political reform. The commissions are equal with the government, the prosecuting authorities and the courts. Leaders of supervisory commissions are elected by people's congresses at the same level and are supervised by legislative bodies, such as the standing committees of people's congresses at all levels.
