China Punished About 280,000 Officials in Anti-Corruption Campaign in 2015
A total of over 1.65 million officials have been punished in the first quarter of this year.

The CCDI was created to fight corruption and other abuses within the ranks of the CPC. The watchdog conducts internal investigations before deciding whether to hand the case over to the judicial authorities.

After assuming office in 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping initiated a large-scale campaign to secure discipline and to fight corruption, primarily targeting high-level officials in the CPC, the armed forces and state-run enterprises.
