According to CCP, among those sanctioned there is a ministerial official, 633 from other departments of the central government and 14,000 from local agencies.
Since January, CCP opened 130,000 cases after receiving thousands of complaints and denunciations from population on corrupt practices and violations to the country’s norms and laws.
Since 2012 the CCP has been cracking down so hard on corruption, accelerating efforts in the last five years from the grassroots to build a clean politics in China, as well as to wipe out formalism, bureaucracy, extravagance and hedonism in state institutions.
Although positive results have been seen, CCP´s disciplinary authorities will continue fighting to neutralize in the long term any work style deemed undesirable.
CCP´s leaders consider these evils as major threat to the Party and has repeatedly warned that those who incur in such acts will not have chances for promotion within the organization and will face justice for their mistakes.
Past October, Chinese President Xi Jinping promised firm punishment for misdeeds in political and commercial sectors.
“As long as there is fertile ground and favorable conditions for germination, we will not stop for a single second in this struggle (…) we will continue promoting as a whole that no one dares, may or attempts to corrupt,” he said.

Communist Party of China

c'mon guys. in spanish it would be PCC so you don't have that excuse
In Brazil, PCC means Primeiro Comando da Capital, the largest gang in the country with ~30 thousand members
That is a huge number but I look at it this way: if Democrats and Republicans did this, 99.8% of the government would be in prison
:liberalism: :xi-reactionary-spotted:
Insider trading during a pandemic...not a good look
99.8% of the government would be in prison
:pingu-horny:
:antler-bernie: gets full pension and avoids prison idc
Sadly it is not as much as it looks (though more than in the West). I remember having had to spend 7 years for a person with bureaucratic authority to be "removed" from their post and what happened was that they transitioned sideways even though the new job was aware of the old problems. So that felt like we did spend a year of life for nothing.
it kind of feels like xi's synthesis of mao and deng is that maybe deng's ideas would actually help develop the country if you keep a tight hold on the capitalists and anyone that betrays the people for them.
If we’re assuming Xi is fully acting in the interest of socialism while using state wrangled capitalism to bolster the country’s productive numbers (I am) then yeah it’s a fucking hell of a job
There's something like 90 million party members, so not that much in the grand scheme of things.
(Some of these numbers might be from the 2010s, but you get the picture)
Party structure:
- Party: 90 Million Members
- Party Congress: 2270 Delegates
- Central Committee: 205 Members/171 Alternate Members
- Politburo: 25 Members (Supported by 7-Person Party Secretariat)
- Politburo Standing Committee: 7 Members
- Party General Secretary: 1 Office Holder, Xi Jinping
State structure (not the same as party structure):
- Country: 1.4 Billion population
- National Party Congress: 2980 members from 10 parties (mostly Communist Party of China, but there are eight other legally recognized parties with elected members)
- chinese people's political consultative conference: 2158 Members, 324 standing committee members
- there's a bunch of other stuff I can't get easy numbers on
a bunch of other stuff
I remember going down a research rabbit hole once, "how many directly elected officials are in China", and the best answer I could find was an estimate that there were 1-2 million elections per year in China (with most positions being for 5-year terms, that's an estimated 5-10 million elected officials). These would be the people's deputies in the counties, cities and towns, ie the fourth and fifth levels of government, who themselves are the ones who vote in the higher-level elections.
interesting. I don't have anything to add, just wanted to let you know i read this.
I mean that's not saying much when the vast majority of the population aren't officials
Also, 0.008%
