China's discipline inspection and supervisory authorities on Tuesday published six cases of violations of the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s eight-point decision on improving official conduct.
Officials were found to be involved in cases of increasing the burden for grassroots units, accepting bribes, and using public funds for traveling, among other misdeeds. This was according to a statement released by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.
Officials involved in all the exposed cases have received punishments, ranging from intra-Party warnings to dismissals, serving as a lesson to Party cadres at all levels, said the statement.
In one case, the health commission of the Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was found issuing low-quality documents, and conducting unnecessary inspections to primary-level organizations between January and July last year. This increased the burden of the subordinate units.
Jiang Hongbo, deputy head of the commission, received an intra-Party warning.
In another case, Guo Longhu, an official with the emergency management bureau of a county in north China's Shanxi Province, was removed from his post for accepting bribes of 2,000 yuan (about 283 U.S. dollars) in February.
The statement stressed perseverance in fighting the practice of formalities for formalities' sake, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance.
The top anti-graft body also called for efforts to guard against disciplinary violations during the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival holiday, as well as strengthened publicity, education, and supervision, to improve the conduct of officials.
