Shaanxi determined to fight red tape, root out corruption

Shaanxi province reiterated its resolution to fight excessive bureaucracy and root out graft, just months after the country brought to justice a large number of officials involved in massive villa projects built to the detriment of the environment.

While speaking on Thursday at a panel discussion during the ongoing gathering of the top legislature in Beijing, Liu Guozhong, governor of Shaanxi, pledged zero tolerance for corruption and misdeeds.

"We'll track down any sign of corruption, and hunt down anyone involved," he said.
