Local governments prune unqualified members from Party

A county in Zhejiang province has expelled 55 unqualified members from the Party in a drive to remove incompetent members.
Another 430 Party members at Pujiang county in central Zhejiang were each given a "yellow card" for their minor shortcomings, told to receive training, and given six to 12 months to correct their faults.
For a long time, the Communist Party of China, with 85 million members by the end of 2012, continued recruiting new members but seldom expelled any unless they committed serious offenses.
