BEIJING — The General Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has published working rules for handling reports and accusations by disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies.

Party committees (leading Party members groups) at all levels should strengthen the unified leadership of the Party over disciplinary inspection and supervision, open up channels for reporting and charging, and create a favorable environment for oversight by Party members and the people, according to a circular released by the general office.

Meanwhile, efforts should be made to seriously investigate and deal with false accusations and frame-ups, said the circular, stressing giving full play to the basic role of handling reports and accusations to ensure full and strict governance over the Party.

Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs are required to implement the rules and show zero tolerance for those handling reports and charges in violation of the rules and the law.
