New rules narrow route for the spoils of corruption
Party cadres and business officials will be required to report the overseas travel and employment of their family members under new anti-corruption measures.
The system, introduced by the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, is being implemented in four places under a trial scheme, according to a report by China Youth Daily yesterday.
The reform was proposed by the non-communist Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League and Zhang Hongwu , a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The experimental system is already in operation in Xiangfan city in Hubei province, Suzhou city in Shanxi province, and at the Petroleum Machinery Factory and the Guohua electricity power company of Shenzhou Group Holdings in Beijing.
It has become common for family members of senior cadres to migrate to foreign countries or send their children to study abroad.
