BEIJING - Authorities have investigated more than 15,000 civil servants involved in 13,000 cases of commercial bribery over the last five years, according to an official statement issued on Wednesday.
Government officials have faced extra scrutiny in a national crackdown on commercial bribery, according to a statement on the website of the Ministry of Supervision.
