Chinese Communist Party outlines closer scrutiny of officials
A Central Committee resolution said the party would also combat corruption involving virtual currencies and blockchain.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is set to increase scrutiny over officials, focusing on their assets and internet activities, according to a document released by the Central Committee on Sunday. This comes after a week-long plenary session in Beijing, with President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign targeting thousands of officials, purging dozens from the Central Committee and several top military leaders.
The resolution emphasizes stricter management and regular oversight of high-ranking officials, targeting those with family wealth and spending far beyond their means. The party will also tighten regulations on the online behavior of its members. Additionally, the party aims to combat corruption involving virtual currencies and blockchain technology.
The plenum resolved to reinforce full and comprehensive governance of the party, including a significant reduction in corruption among cadres. State media reported 33 more dignitaries, including former Politburo member Zhang Youxia, removed from their positions. Advocates argue that the purge promotes clean governance, but critics contend the measures are strategic to extend Xi Jinping's rule ahead of the Party Congress in late 2027.
The Central Committee resolution also calls for enhancing intraparty democracy by offering more channels for member expression and encouraging open dialogue.
