The Chinese public has become more satisfied with the country's large-scale anti-corruption campaign in the past two years, a new study shows.

A report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is based on household surveys asking respondents to rate their satisfaction with China's anti-corruption campaign on a scale up to five points. The result shows an average increase of 0.21 and 0.35 points in the year 2013 and 2014 respectively.

"The central government's increased effort on cracking down on corruption has directly increased the urban public's satisfaction with its governance," the academy said.

Besides, the Chinese public has also become more satisfied wither their lives, with an average grade of 3.51 out of five points in regard to life satisfaction. This is the fourth time the satisfaction score has topped 3.50 in the past 15 years.

The report, however, also shows falls in various indices, including price tolerance, government economic management and confidence in foreign affairs.

The report was carried out in 36 major cities with respondents over 18 years old. It altogether obtained 4,656 samples overall.
