Supervision officers have already been sent to 52 government agencies, according to China Daily.

The CCDICP has announced that it punished 182,000 officials involved in corruption in 2013, a rise of 13 percent above 2012. As of first nine months of 2014, more than 13,000 officials were convicted of corruption and bribery, according to CCDIP.
