Scrutiny of Party officials invited

The top ruling body of the Communist Party of China urged all Party officials on Tuesday to invite scrutiny and supervision from the public.

The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee made the decision at a thought-sharing meeting presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.

The Political Bureau stressed that "the higher an official's position is ... the more open he or she shall be to scrutiny and supervision", and there is no exception within the Party, according to a news release.
