Chinese Graft-Busting Body Chastises Sports Ministry For Not Taking Corruption Seriously

China's "top graft-busting body rapped the sports ministry again on Wednesday for not taking the country's sweeping campaign against corruption seriously enough," summoning in 17 ministry discipline officials to discuss the problem, according to Ben Blanchard of REUTERS. China, which is "aggressively seeking to stamp out graft in Communist Party and government ranks," has also sought to "eject corrupt elements from its sports establishment," particularly within football, which has been "hit by match-fixing scandals." The ruling Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said that its inspectors attached to the sports ministry "had sent teams to departments dealing with swimming and gymnastics, among others." It summoned in 17 officials in charge of enforcing party discipline "to find out if they were following party rules on fighting corruption." The inspection found that "some ministry departments still did not sufficiently understand that the fight against corruption would never cease" and that some people were "less than enthusiastic" about enforcing party discipline (REUTERS, 5/3).
