“International Red Newsletter” aims to provide information and news about the international communist movement and progressive struggle to Chinese readers.

CCP’s penalties for intra-party corruption are getting softer. Since 2010s, Chinese Communist Party’s Disciplinary Committee has made a great innovation - to reduce application of the criminalization of corrupt burocracts, and replace it with party discipline punishment, to emphasize the transformation and the reuse of bureaucracts. The maximum amnesties for bureaucrats’ corruption can involve up to 30,000 yuan which is around 5000 euros. That’s to say, corruption under 5,000 euros in China only exposes corrupt officials to party discipline such as suspension of promotions or office, which is in sharp contrast to the Mao era’s zero tolerance for corruption within the party.
