The top anti-graft body of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said that 7,199 officials including a ministerial-level official, were punished in May for violating Party austerity rules.

 

中国共产党最高反腐机构表示，五月有7199位官员因违反中央八项规定受到处罚，其中包括一位省部级干部。
 

 

The officials were involved in 4,973 cases, said the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection¹ (CCDI) in a statement.

 

Awarding an unauthorized allowance or bonus was the most common misdemeanor, followed by giving or accepting gifts and misuse² of public vehicles.

 

A total of 27,099 officials involved in 18,985 cases were punished in the first five months of 2018, the CCDI said.

 

The CPC released its eight-point rules on austerity in late 2012 to reduce undesirable³ work practices.

 

The CCDI has a monthly reporting system on the implementation⁴ of the austerity rules within provincial-level governments, central Party and government agencies, centrally administered state-owned enterprises and central financial institutions.
