The central authorities are sending special teams to villages in 10 provinces to investigate illegal activities and malpractice on the part of grassroots officials.
Since early last month, a number of government agencies including disciplinary, agricultural and civil affairs departments have dispatched personnel to villages where problems have been reported.
Their findings are expected to help lawmakers amend and revise existing relevant decrees, in the context that the government is combating corruption and malpractice carried out by grass-roots officials.
It is the first anti-corruption investigation of its kind in the country, according to sources.
