We want you: Chinese anti-graft watchdog seeks public tip-offs on corrupt officials
Communist Party's anti-graft watchdog wants to learn from Beijing police and use the masses to get information on graft among cadres
China top anti-corruption watchdog wants to follow in the capital's crime-fighting footsteps by enlisting the public to tip off the authorities about wayward officials.
In a commentary in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's flagship newspaper on the weekend, the CCDI said it should follow the example of the Beijing police and encourage the general public to report corruption.
The commentary in the China Discipline Inspection Daily said police in the capital had fully mobilised the public in getting tip-offs about crime.
Beijing police have sought to enlist two types of groups in the campaign - "Chaoyang residents" and "Xicheng grandmas", representing them in cartoon images released on the force's official microblog.
The police have also printed T-shirts with the cartoon images to be handed out to those who help report any strange activities in the city.
"Are there any 'Chaoyang residents' in the fight against corruption?" the CCDI commentary said.
"The public can play a very significant role in the crackdown on corruption."
