Club ban in historic buildings

CHINA’S central authority yesterday issued a decree prohibiting private clubs in historical buildings, parks and other public facilities, in the latest crackdown against hedonism and extravagance among officials.

Private clubs in historical buildings and parks have damaged public interests, fanned corruption and triggered discontent in society, according to the guideline forwarded by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.

High-end restaurants, gymnasiums, spas and hotels were among those listed as not allowed to open in historical buildings or parks.

Members-only clubs inside historic buildings and parks must be shut down, according to the decree.

Public anger has been rising against private clubs, which are often illicitly built with public resources.
