China's ruling Communist Party yesterday issued a new set of regulations on fighting internal corruption, championing the rules as the embodiment of the party's effort to police itself without the need for democratic checks and balances or an open press.
Authorites also announced a fresh crackdown on unsafe mining operations
"The regulations attach great importance to carry forward democracy and strengthen supervision within the party, while safeguarding party unity and advancement," the People's Daily, the party mouthpiece, said.
State-controlled Xinhua News Agency said that it was the first time the party had openly published rules on fighting corruption within its ranks.
