Police in the Chinese city of Nanjing are angry at a new demand to disclose details of their private lives, state media has reported.

The new order, part of an effort to stamp out corruption, requires police officers to tell their superiors if they are getting married or divorced.

They will also have to report any major purchases such as houses and cars, as well any private holidays abroad.

Corruption is a huge problem in many sectors of Chinese society.
