Party issues postcard ban
Print Edition
The Chinese Communist Party yesterday banned officials from sending out or printing New Year cards or calendars if they have been paid for with public funds, the latest step in the government’s crackdown on waste, extravagance and graft.
The Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a circular that Party organs, government departments, state-owned enterprises and public institutions are forbidden to buy, print, mail and give away New Year cards, postcards and calendars. Those handling the affairs of foreign relations as well as of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and overseas Chinese are exempt from the ban.
Disciplinary agencies will closely supervise the implementation of this ban.
President Xi Jinping has sought to address public anger at the illegal or unethical behavior of Party and government officials, especially those with flamboyant lifestyles, often seen as a sign they are corrupt.
