China fines over 1 lakh people under its anti-corruption drive

According to a report, more than 1,11,000 people in China were fined under corruption charges in the first quarter of 2023 after they received nearly 776,000 petitions and reports, of which 231,000 were simply accusations, according to Directus.

More than a lakh officials were fined by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervisory Commission. Looking at the numbers, one might conclude that China is making an effort to combat corruption, but the reality is discouraging. The nearly 50 million state employees were victims of the economic crisis as a result of the failure of its Covid-19 policy and the slowing of the economy.
