BEIJING, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- The top discipline watchdog of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Friday named and shamed people guilty of 119 cases of violating the Party's anti-corruption and frugality rules.
The violations, details of which were published on the website of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), included bribery, illegal bonuses, applying for government subsidies with false data, embezzling office funds and abuse of power.
Wrongdoers received punishment ranging from official warnings, demotion, expulsion from the CPC to removal from office. Cases involving criminal liability have been transferred to judicial organs.
While the cases were scattered around the country, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region reported 20 violations, the highest for a single provincial region.
The CCDI vowed to expose more such cases in the hope that they will serve as warnings for officials.
