CCDI: Bureaucratic anti-poverty approach common

Bureaucratic practices and impractical working styles were found to be common in institutions and provinces involved in the country's sweeping poverty reduction campaign, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on Wednesday.

The findings - published on the CCDI's website - followed a central inspection targeting the poverty relief sector that started in October.

Those inspected included 13 provinces grappling with extreme poverty, mainly in the country's less-developed regions, along with two financial institutions - the Agricultural Development Bank of China and the Agricultural Bank of China.
