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.

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.
