THE Communist Party of China's (CPC's) top anti-graft body announced Thursday that over 6,500 officials were disciplined for violating austerity rules in November, bringing the total this year to 43,200

The officials, including four provincial and ministerial level officials, were involved in some 4,800 cases, about a fourth of which involved unauthorized allowances and subsidies, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a routine report on its website.

Illicit gift giving and receiving, unapproved use of public vehicles and excessive government spending on receptions were included in violations.

The CCDI has established a monthly reporting system since August, 2013 to monitor the implementation of "eight-point rules", introduced by the CPC to reduce bureaucracy, extravagance, and undesirable work habits.

According to the CCDI, over 71,000 officials were reprimanded for breaking austerity rules in 2014.

As of the end of November, some 109,700 violations have been reported nationwide and over 145,300 officials were subject to disciplinary action since the CPC launched its frugality campaign in December, 2012.
