Shanghai anti-graft scheme set to expand
Print Edition
CHINA’S Communist Party is to widen a pilot anti-graft scheme to four more regions beyond Shanghai as it seeks to rein in business activities by the families of senior government officials.
Rules announced last May bar spouses and children of officials in Shanghai from registering individual businesses or partnerships, investing in non-listed enterprises or registering a business overseas and doing business back in China.
Spouses of senior officials in Shanghai are also banned from holding top positions in private companies or senior appointed positions in foreign-invested enterprises.
Now four more regions — Beijing, Chongqing, Xinjiang and Guangdong — will join the scheme, Xinhua news agency reported following a meeting overseen by President Xi Jinping.
The government will work to “strictly define business activities, make detailed rules and procedures to implement” the scheme, Xinhua said, adding that the rules would eventually become normal practice.
It gave no further details.
Some officials have faced criticism for the behavior of family members. The Party and government have ejected thousands of so-called “naked officials,” whose spouses and children have emigrated abroad.
China is in the midst of a massive crackdown on corruption. Officials found guilty of serious corruption and given life sentences would never be eligible for parole, a concession previously available, depending on their behavior in jail.
