Party gets 917 tip-offs of alleged official decadence

The top discipline agency of the Communist Party of China said yesterday that it has received 917 tip-offs about official decadence during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holidays.

In a statement on its website, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said 801 of the tip-offs were submitted online and 116 via mail. It said violators would be “severely” punished.

The alleged breaches included use of public funds for gift-giving, dining and travel unrelated to official duties, costly recreational activities, violations of official car use and handing out unnecessary bonuses, the statement said.

Celebratory gifts and feasts have been customary during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a mooncake-eating holiday on September 19, and the seven-day National Day holiday in early October.

An eight-point rule rejecting extravagance among Party members was unveiled by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at the end of last year. (Xinhua)
