The number of convictions related to corruption in China nearly doubled last year, according to a report by Beijing's top prosecutor, as President Xi Jinping ramped up his crackdown on graft.

According to the annual report from the Supreme People's Procuratorate submitted to the national parliament, 18,585 people were prosecuted for crimes related to corruption in 2019, a 90 percent year-on-year increase.

The latest high-profile targets of the anti-corruption campaign include former shipbuilding executive Hu Wenming and ex-deputy national security minister Sun Lijun, who were both placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and the law" in May and April respectively. China is holding its delayed annual National People's Congress this year, but with much stricter controls on access and many sessions closed to the media due to the coronavirus outbreak.

More than a million officials have been punished under the anti-corruption campaign so far, which has been a cornerstone of Xi's seven-year tenure.The Supreme People's Court also reported that there were 22 trials under the controversial martyrs' law, which criminalises all insults to Communist heroes.

These 'criminals' you talk about are innocent people that are now either dead or being tortured in concentration camps. Bad things are happening in this country too because of Nazi-like people, such as your fake news team & the federal creeps you cover for.

Justin Trudeau extradites and profits off of Chinese-Canadian's who broke free from the bloodthirsty CCP regime. Tell the truth about the Liberal Party you rotten state-funded communist propagandists.

SO WHATS. NEW!

Convictions may have doubled but the corruption numbers are beyond possible imaginable prosecution. Why is CTV shilling for China given the horrible humanitarian abuse happening NOW in Hong Kong?

Interesting, can you look into this further or is this just a repost from the AP? Like you condemn anything questioning the WHO but here is China saying..... not sure, you should really clarify.

That’s called a ‘purge’
