Shanghai's government will launch stronger efforts to deal with
commercial bribery, officials announced at a news conference
Wednesday.
Officials said the city had already set up a body to lead the
campaign to uncover and investigate commercial bribery.
Officials said the anti-commercial bribery campaign would have
four major focuses.
First, it would focus on digging into suspected unfair
transactions that are closely related to public welfares.
Second, transactions in the areas of construction programs, land
trading, government purchases as well as resource exploitation and
trading, would receive extra attention.
Third, government departments with considerable powers would be
more closely supervised.
Fourth, officials said they would make efforts to uncover
state-agency personnel involved in commercial activities using
their power to make illegal profits.
