Officials punished for violating bureaucracy-busting rules

BEIJING - The Communist Party of China (CPC)'s discipline watchdog on Tuesday named and shamed six local officials or offices that violated the eight bureaucracy-busting guidelines announced by the central authority late last year.

Officials involved in the cases have been stripped of their CPC or official posts, according to a statement from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the CPC.
