Lavish behavior punished

The Party discipline watchdog named and shamed officials, companies and institutions on Tuesday that it found to have violated the eight bureaucracy-busting guidelines announced by the central government late last year.

The people involved in all six cases have been stripped of their Party or administrative posts, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC, the top discipline supervisory body.

The watchdog said in a statement that it will severely punish officials whose conduct violates the guidelines.
