BEIJING - China's top law enforcement body announced a campaign to"thoroughly remove tumours" from the country's justice system, pointing to a fresh corruption purge by President Xi Jinping.

The move sets the stage for another anti-corruption push under Mr Xi, who cemented his authority over the ruling party with an unprecedented years-long campaign to shame, oust and punish officials. The effort has ensnared more than 3 million cadres as of January, including the Zhou Yongkang, the former head of the powerful legal affairs commission.

China's opaque and party-controlled justice system has come under new international scrutiny after Beijing handed down legislation last month for the first time allowing national security offences in the former British colony of Hong Kong to be prosecuted in mainland courts.
