A document on fighting corruption at grassroots level in the
countryside has been jointly issued by the General Offices of the
Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the
State Council.
It advocates clean governance in rural areas and aims to improve
the codes of conduct for Party members and officials at grassroots
level.
Everything, except state secrets, must be open to Party members
and villagers, it says.
It calls for full investigations to be carried out of Party
members and officials who have violated Party disciplines and state
law.
