The discipline watchdog of the Communist Party of China (CPC) pledged heavier crackdown on corruption and other acts violating the CPC’s disciplines, according to its work report released Monday.
“The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC punished 115,143 members last year, accounting for 1.7 per thousand of the party membership total,” says the report on the work of the commission, delivered by secretary Wu Guanzheng at the commission’s Sixth Plenary Session on Jan. 5.
Of the punished members, 15,177 have been handed over to judicial departments for suspected involvement in criminal activities, the report says.
The report disclosed that disciplinary organs of various levels put on file for investigation 147,539 cases involving violations of the CPC’s disciplines from December 2004 through November 2005. Of these cases, 148,931 cases have been closed, which resulted in the expulsion of 24,188 members from the CPC.
