Four inspection teams have been sent to various provincial regions and State-owned enterprises in an effort to boost intra-Party discipline and crack down on corruption.
By late May, four teams had been sent to Jiangxi, Guizhou, Chongqing and the China Grain Reserve Corporation.
Wang Qishan, head of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said earlier that the main tasks of those teams are to curb corruption, inspect officials' work styles, boost intra-Party discipline and search for any illicit trading of power for money in the process of promoting officials, chinanews.com reported.
The teams have published mobile phone numbers on the Internet so that people who have something to report can directly contact them.
"Their target is mainly those provincial- and ministerial-level officials. Starting from this year, inspection teams will also look into the assets of those officials' immediate family members," Wang Yukai, a public administration professor with the National School of Administration, told the Global Times, adding that such measures reflect the Party's determination to combat corruption.
The CPC Central Committee has been dispatching such teams on an annual basis for the past 10 years.
According to a previously released schedule, more inspection teams will be sent to Hubei Province, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Export-Import Bank of China, China Publishing Group and Renmin University of China.
